The 2009 survey covers the gadgets that people use on a daily basis and it covered nearly 1,900 people in 38 cities. Among the participants, 54 per cent were male while 46 per cent were female. All this points at least to the fact that even though internet penetration may not be increasing as fast as desired those who use internet are becoming addicted to it though again the sample size is too small to make general assumptions.

Nice Article.
Such figures are bound to come up. India's Internet peneteration has grown 700% since the year 2000. Such figures are expected.
The Important thing to find out is that what are the demographic distributions of these "54 per cent were male while 46 per cent were female" mentioned in the article. For a successful online Targetting and promotion we will have to know who these people are and whether there is a connection between their style of surfing and their demographics.
Depends on which way you look at, though i think it is massivly effective in all aspects mainly because it is instant and it has a global reach
social media web 2.0 is still in it's infancy, therefore may not seem to be that effective to some but really it is look at obama for instance social media was responsible for him winning the election..
