" In case you haven&amp;#039;t been obsessively checking it, Twitter has released an analytics page that can tell you how many people are reading your tweets. It can also tell you a lot about your followers: where they live, what their interests are, andwhether they&amp;#039;re male or female. But here&amp;#039;s the weird part\u2014Twitter can figure out your gender even though it doesn&amp;#039;t ask you for it when you sign up! Twitter analyzes the words you use to figure out whether you&amp;#039;re a girl or a guy. A few researchers told Boing Boing there are a few key differences between the way men and women tweet. For example, women use &amp;quot;OMG&amp;quot; four times as often as men do. And women say &amp;quot;LOL,&amp;quot; while men say &amp;quot;LMFAO.&amp;quot; There are weirdly specific differences in what we tweet too, like men tweet &amp;quot;my zipper&amp;quot; more, while women tweet &amp;quot;my yoga&amp;quot; more.  Twitter started tracking gender after advertisers asked to target promoted tweets to men or women specifically. The company said in a 2012 blog post that their predictions are more than 90 percent accurate. They also noted the most obvious way to predict gender is a simple one: just using your username. So if you&amp;#039;re sick of seeing ads for lip gloss on your feed, maybe change your Twitter handle to @bob!  Do you notice a big difference between what your girl and guy friends tweet?
