Facebook's for girls

So the word is out that women dominate on Facebook.  This has been my hunch all along, so it's good to discover the stats prove it. As far as I can gather the figures are based on number of users, I reckon if you were to look at activity the female bias would be even higher. 

The kind of seemingly pointless, touch-basing social interaction that Facebook excels at is just a more female thing.  In the same way that women in couples are more likely to write and send cards and organise the family photo albums (I'm not so sure this last still holds in the Flikr age, but it used to be true).

I am shocked. Women are more natural at social skills? ;)

I wouldn't be so shocked seeing what most say (and do) on their Facebook profiles...

And that was the politest way I could put it :(
