Undoubtedly female are using social media sites more than male. It is because they have spend their free time there and share their values and activities with others. Those also allow them to join with different community.

No surprise really to discover that women are the majority when it comes to social media sites. I have been tracking the statistics of my own fan pages on Facebook, I looked over the followers I have on Twitter, and even on LinkedIn. There are a lot of women in each of those places and the dominate the numbers. Think about it, have a look at the supermarket, the theater, even your places of worship. Women are the driving force in the conversations that are happening both online and offline.

Women are just more into seeing what others are doing. I like to see what is going on in others lives and my boyfriend could care less. I think the results of this study or not shocking they are predictable.

[...] Patrick Thornton at BeatBlogging.Org, which tipped me off to the study, notes that it’s important to understand the demographics of each social network because “news organizations — especially newspapers — have struggled for years to attract as many female readers/users as they do with males.” You can say that again.

@Gina,

That was my read on things too. Women, in general, are more social than men. Naturally, it makes sense that women take to social media. I believe that news orgs could attract more female users if they made their products more social.

Part of the gap may also be attributed to less women working and more women raising children. These reasons have attributed to the rise of mommy bloggers. But I need to see more research before drawing that conclusion.

@Sylvain,

I’m going to try to do more research to find the reasons for this gap. Part of the gap with Facebook could be attributed to it being popular with college students (it originally was college only). Women out number men on college campuses, 58-42.

Interesting stats, thank you. I’d like to find out why females use social media more than men. It’s easy to have preconceived ideas like Facebook and Twitter attracts more women because it’s more gossipy while Digg attract more men because it’s more geek-oriented. However, I’m sure these aren’t real reasons. I’d like to hear a social media demographics expert on this matter.
