New Infographic breaks down Social Media Users by Gender


A new infographic from Information is Beautiful breaks down social media users by gender. As you can see, Pinterest is a fave among women, while Reddit is a must-read by men.

Here are other key findings.
1. Pinterest is far from the only social media site dominated by women. Just look at Twitter: Sixty-two percent of Twitter's users are female, and each month 40 million more women visit Twitter than men.

2. Same goes for Facebook, but less so. Fifty-eight percent of The Social Network's users are women.

3. Despite users spending very little time on the network, people are still using Google+ -- and over 50 percent of those people are male.

4. Despite its user base declining steadily since 2008, people are still using MySpace -- and over 50 percent of those people are female.

5. Men make up the majority of users on music-based social networking sites, such as last.fm and Spotify.

6. More women are on Instagram -- but barely. The breakdown is 53 percent women, 47 percent men. 

7. Only three social networking sites have gender parity: Scribd., orkut and foursquare.

So men dominate reddit? Considering there's such a thing as The Fappening, I'm not shocked.
