Fantastic Pointers – Do Men Or Women Connect More With Social Networking Sites?

It really is fascinating to look at recent studies to show how men and women connect with social networking sites. For example, were you aware that, based on a recent study by Pew, 56% of users on the sites are women? This figure in fact goes up to 64% with regards to Twitter. Although women might seem to be dominant on these social networks online, if we’re to believe a particular review, a further survey supplied by the prominent website LinkedIn states that men are much more proactive and in fact tend to be more knowledgeable networkers.

To arrive at their conclusions, LinkedIn investigated the ratio of one way connections that men have compared to those that ladies have, together with the ratio of male members to female members. They were in a position to identify exactly how particular industries were more “female savvy” as compared to male. In their estimation, males dominate in the fields of capital finance, health care, law enforcement and, surprisingly, cosmetic products. Ladies are on top in the tobacco industry, international trade and cattle ranching.

All of the studies and findings simply underline the importance of social networks in our lives these days and how they are growing to be far more crucial in the world of business networking on the whole. LinkedIn is obviously one of the premier business related networks, yet it’s undoubtedly fascinating to look at the “mainstream” social networking sites such as Twitter, where it seems that there’s a 64/36 split in favour of women.

It seems certain that social networking sites will become much more of a dominant force in our lives as we go forward and the line already appears to be blurring with regards to the distinction between social and business. To be sure, Facebook is currently turning into an important business resource and even more networking will probably be conducted therein, in the months and years in the future. As this is such a dynamic area it’s probable that we will see further changes to the way in which men and women network and can expect completely different results over time.
