Step aside, gentlemen. When it comes to social media, it's a woman's
world. According to data taken from Google's U.S. Ad Planner, a site
that tracks popular Web sites' traffic, 84 percent (16 out of 19) of
social media Web sites are frequented more by women than by men. The
Web site
Pingdom,
which collected the data from Ad Planner, found that 59 percent of
Twitter users and 57 percent of Facebook users are female. About 52
percent of LinkedIn users are female. The most female-dominated site is
Bebo, which is 66 percent female, followed by MySpace and
Classmates.com, each 64 percent female. Bookmarking sites like
Slashdot, Digg and Reddit are more popular among men. “If we hadn’t
included the three [bookmarking] sites, all of the sites would have had
more females than males,” according to Pingdom.
