Women Rool on SocNets

Bias by gender by social media site

Via Mashable, news that women outnumber men on most social media. (graphics by Information is Beautiful):

The stats, compiled by Brian Solis from Google Ad Planner data, show that equal numbers of men and women use sites like LinkedIn, DeviantArt and YouTube.

When it comes to sites like Flickr (Flickr), Facebook (Facebook), Twitter (Twitter), FriendFeed (FriendFeed), MySpace (MySpace) and Bebo (Bebo), however, women outnumber men. In fact, there’s only one major holdout for men on the social web: social news site Digg (Digg), where 64% of users are male.

What we said, a year ago. The comments are interesting in that its the same old same old....... Gads, for such a fast paced industry it seems to struggle to see things it doesn't like. But money talks - by this time next year I expect to see the industry coming to the same conclusions we did last year, ie if you are not employing women in service design and build, you are at a big disadvantage.
