Everyday Reads: Women Outnumber Men on Most Social Networks

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’)

The World According to Cuil

Cuil.com was a hot topic yesterday.

Follow up to my earlier post on search engines, I am not sure if I can describe this as “diversity of the Web” … well, it is surely entertaining.
