The statistic is interesting, but it only shows women feel the need to communicate more than men. It's easier for them to express their feelings, their states of mind, even though they exaggerate a bit, sometimes. I had a friend which twittered she's got herself a blue wig, for example. I guess they are less selfish and don't mind sharing their happiness with others. Indeed, as said before me, women rule in every field. They show us communication in a relationship does matter.

Of course! Woman like to gossip, always be informed, share news. Men tend to be less sociable,
it is more difficult for them to switch from one task to another, they prefer to talk straight.

Very interesting post. I have linked to it so that the chicks on our site can celebrate :)

But seriously, interesting results but the fact that so many people are using any of those networks is brilliant and that the results are actually really close. Thanks for a great report.

Cheers
Leigh

Unfortunately not the whole world - inspired by the post of InformationisBeautiful.net I compared US, UK and Germany for 6 Social Networks and got a different picture :( http://tr.im/ANyo

Wow. Looks like Social Media would need a new tagline - Social Media: The Women Connection Era. It looks like marketers around the world need to buck up and study the "Ways of Marketing to the Ladies". Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Brain, this's Carmen, a PR from Hong Kong. Nice survey!
A quick question - by saying "in social media, women rule", do you have any findings on how they "rule" the online discussion, like, how they influence the trend & tone & style of online discussions, topic of discussion, and even the way people talk & share online.

Great research...I never would have guessed that females outnumbered males on almost all of the social networking sites. I want to read more about these trends now!

Yes, I'm pretty suprised. I knew women were outnumbering men in Twitter, but not in the other social media. Good news.

These statistics that show women are on social networking sites more than men is not surprising. Women generally tend to be more social than men. Therefore it makes sense that they would be using social networking sites to communicate and converse with others more than men. The one thing about this data that is surprising is that the percentage of men using these social networking sites is not much less than women. So it seems that social media and social networking sites typically reach both male and females even though there are more females on these sites.

Yeah, and whilst you girls are fritting away your empty lives on facebook et al, men are out doing proper work.

my husband and I just had this conversation yesterday. I'm curious to know if those numbers reflect regular users of social media, or includes everyone that has an account. And, yes, chicks *do* rule!

No surprise to me. I have been here since the early days of online (c 1994) - back when it was a way for young, white, males with a lack of social skills to think they were interacting with the opposite sex ;-)

I know that in general women are better conversationalists, better listeners, better networkers. Plus they look better in their profile pics :)

I do wonder though, if the stats above are taking into account the number of fake female spambot accounts created to lure the aforementioned blokes, into clicking spam links etc...

Just hit SocialMeidan with this: Not really surprising, though. Men are "too cool" for socializing. They're the silent, mysterious loners. They thrive in places like the wild west.

Online, they repel the Facebooks (and Twitter? Really?) of the world and opt for solo rogue blogs, which may be why Digg, which is lame, is mostly male.

Brian, fun post! I guess all the men are too busy playing fantasy football or playstation.

Brian, Thanks for posting this data. I love it. I am going to refer to it in one of my articles for my DC Social Media Examiner on Examiner.com. I love your blog!

by the way... you could include virtual worlds into the social network scene. Second Life, for example has approx 65% women.... but most of us just think it's all men posing as women.... who knows.

Re: In the World of Social Media, Women Rule

TheReason — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:37:44 -0000

There's such a major part to this equation that is totally being left out.... Women are on social networks relating, sharing, conversing, collaborating more often with men. I'd like to see some stats regarding the woman -> woman ratio vs the woman -> men ratio.
