Consider these:
- 75.8% of all women visited social media sites in May 2010; 69.7% of men did during the same period.
- Women represent 47.9% of unique visitors to social networking sites yet view 57% of all pages on those sites.
- Women spend 56.6% of the time on social networking sites.
- Women average 5.5 hours on social sites per month while men average just 3.9 hours.
- Women worldwide spend more time on social sites than men and regionally in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
