Social Networks Dominated By Women
By Anna Johnson on July 30th, 2008A study of 49.3 million people (90 percent from the U.S.) by online reputation company Rapleaf reveals that the majority of social network users are women.
Women dominate the main social networks – MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Hi5 – and only lag behind men in the 18-24 year old age group on the more business/professional oriented network, LinkedIn, and on a site called Perfspot.
For example, 60 percent of Facebook members are female, while 37 percent are male and 3 percent are unspecified (I can’t imagine what it’s like to be”unspecified” but anyway…). Meanwhile, on MySpace, 57 percent are female and 43 percent are male.
