"Men are generally better networkers, except when it comes to industries like tobacco and ranching.\nAt least, that's according to findings by LinkedIn's analytics team. The researchers also found that men were better networkers in the cosmetics industry. \nLinkedIn determined the \"networking savviness\" of the sexes in various professions by comparing the number of connections that men have to the number women have, and looking at the ratio of male to female members. For example, LinkedIn labeled an industry that was 45% female, with women having 70% of the connections, as \"female savvy.\" Neutral industries were the ones in which the percentage of women in the industry equaled their percentage of connections.\nSince LinkedIn doesn't require members to register their sex, some guesswork was involved. As Scott Nicholson, senior data scientist at LinkedIn, wrote on the company's official blog Wednesday, \"We can guess a person\u2019s gender using their first name and some previously established techniques using a database of baby names.\"\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
