Great statistics for those who are interested in the usage trends of Social Networking websites.
The only social networks studied that didn’t have more women than men in the 18-24 year old group were venerable old LinkedIn (where incidentally the 25-34 age group was tops) and a site called Perfspot.
Other highlights:
- Women ages 14-24 dominate activity on social networks and have more friends than men of the same ages.
- Men ages 35+ are more active and have more friends than women of the same ages.
- The average social network user has 2-25 friends.
- There are a disproportionately high number of 69 year olds across various social networks. (my guess is that it’s the most popular ‘fake age’)
