The Web is Female

females on social networks

Like many people, I’m really looking forward to the UK pub­lic­a­tion of David McCandless’ The Visual Miscellaneum.

This graphic might come as a surprise to some people. If the main way you’ve found out about social media is through con­fer­ence pro­grammes and the most fre­quently cited blog posts, you could not be blamed for assuming that the social web is a world of men. The opposite is nearly always the case.

Interesting that digg is the only male-​​dominated social network in this sample. I will leave it to the reader to draw any con­clu­sions between that and the tone of the comments and focus on winning that site has.

P.S. Just found this in my inbox — Millennial Moms — “Millennial Moms are sup­planting college students as the most con­nected and tech­no­logy dependant [sic] population”.
