RapLeaf recently reviewed some demographic data from a few social networks and found that users are mostly female and young. They surveyed 22 million users on Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Plaxo and Hi5 and discovered that 62% are female and about two-thirds are below 26 years of age. LinkedIn was the only social network that had a preponderance of males.
Some thus take the stereotypical view that females are more relationship driven and communication oriented, and males are living in their parents basement while trying to optimize the frame rate for Crysis.
Statistics on Google’s OpenSocial platform end users and Facebook users – RapLeaf, 11.13.07
