hmmm. according to forrester’s research for groundswell, men are more active than women. Partly I would imaging because things like WoW are really just as much social networks as the ones rapleaf looked at, if not more so.
from what I can see, the rapleaf study was extremely limited in scope. what’s more interesting to me is the ways that men and women use socnets differently, particularly at different ages.

Interesting study, although, like you said, not surprising. Web 2.0 is generally relationship-driven, and that’s what most women are!

Thanks for the post. I was not aware about the gender gap. But what you say about the transactional behavior of male, yes, is true. I myself behave like that. But that is how i am! However, i have a complaint about relationship driven behavior of females. Most of you are not that much driven. Those are, please, control yourself. You are taking it too seriously.
