WOW!!!! I am sure most of these are spammers who set profiles as hot chicks and spam about porn links

LOL..Agreed with Erez and Rizwan both…

Interesting. Seems to reinforce the stereotypes regarding women as being more social than men. And I agree with Erez, Digg can be juvenile, but nothing like Fark! ;)

You shouldn’t fall for wrong conclusions. That thye are be present in large numbers, larger than men’s, does not mean that women “rule” in a social network. Let’s look at women’s actual sphere of influence. Who are the most followed, the most retweeted, the most authoritative members of a given network? It’s usually guys. I’d bet that, for any substantive measure of influence, it’s the men who “rule” even in sites where more women than men have an account.

an interesting piece of information. Yea, i agree that woman might dominate the site with their larger number, but which is the one who has the most influence?

Anyway, all these social networking sites are here just for us to connect with our friends. Do we really need to bother whether is it because woman are becoming more miserable therefore they are turning to social networking??

Love. Your Choice.

I don’t see how the data was collected described, but I assume that a larger portion of the “female” users are in fact fake accounts made by men to induce fools into befriending them, which may be desired for a number of reasons. I doubt that women do this anywhere near the same extent. Beyond this, I’m sure whenever a man needs to make a fake account, unless there is a reason the fake account needs to be male, it’s going to be female, and I don’t see that many techie females around the west coast to have a reason to do this sort of thing.

I doubt that any data/sample collection method of users on any network can factor this out. LinkedIn maybe matters less, but I would guess twitter, facebook, and myspace all have the problems I describe.

Definitely that statistic is looking as true. Women are more blabbing persons. Take a look at our regular life in offices, subway, streets. One thing is interesting for me: have the person (who prepared that comparison chart) the access to all databases of all compared systems??? Else how possible to compare these communities without real data???? I`m not sure what data is correct. Same “advertisement” I can do for any system. It depends from period of the year, region, economical and political situation, September 11th events etc. The data will be absolutelly different in many cases…

Nice post, But i think facebook is a major part of web, We can say many networking sites are ruling the web. Like Facebook, Orkut and twitter.

Girls are pink and boys are blue… Oye…

oh dear, just goes to show how sad we are

@Erez,
“Digg is less of a Patriarcy and more of a Juvenile fraternity house.”
Using that same line of thought, without a doubt, we can see that the so-called “matriarchies” are more like drama-filled sorority houses.

Where is the interesting thinking? Where is something leading to worthwhile action? The rest is pap.

You mean women might be interested in tools and places that give them more opportunity to talk about random crap? Nooooo. That just isn’t the sort of thing that most women are into.

You can hardly call Bebo a matriarchy. Its average user is about 19.

Wow…. tongue in cheek could be the defence, but it is apparent some people are using these comments as a soapbox for chauvinism… front up a compelling theory or argument rather than expel your old tired male propaganda about our ‘scheming cliques’, and maybe this will be as engaging as our social networks…

think twice before posting flat stereotypes. These findings are leading to some more insight

lush;Man these stats wrer really helpful 4 my ppt.
