Life is grand

Yes, more Facebook. This time some numbers. We all like numbers don’t we?

Paul Francis used the new advertising tools on Facebook to figure out the demographics of Facebook users. Country and gender only so far but still very interesting. He came up with this data-set. United States of America is obviously by far and away the leaders but check out Turkey and my home country of South Africa at number 9 with six hundred thousand users. Ireland is further down at 167,000 users.

What is really interesting though is that every single country listed has more women using Facebook than men. From a “low” of 59% in the United States of America to 74% female from Spain.

So while the tech circles that created Facebook and co. are heavily male dominated the users of our social networks are mainly female.
