Study shows that on non-geek social networks, females represent the majority. You could argue that this is according to the world population ratio, but I’m not sure that would be correct.
On the other hand, on ‘geeky’ social networks/sites the audience is predominantly males. Communication (females) vs geekness (males)?
our online identities are comprised primarily of three specific kinds of data:
- Explicit or prescriptive data (i.e. the data that I input about myself: name, age, occupation, etc.)
- Activity or behavioral data (i.e. what I do and say online)
- Relationship data (i.e. my social graph and what my connections say about me)
Facebook is already capturing all this data and is probably the platform knowing the most about us. I guess the second one is Google. Or is it vice-versa?
Now if you don’t see the implications by yourself, I would encourage you to read the pros and cons of having all this data “out there” on Jeff Jonas’ article: ☞ Your Movements Speak for Themselves.
