The Web is Female

Like many people, I’m really looking forward to the UK publication of David McCandless’ The Visual Miscellaneum.

This graphic might come as a surprise to some people. If the main way you’ve found out about social media is through conference programmes and the most frequently cited blog posts, you could not be blamed for assuming that the social web is a world of men. The opposite is nearly always the case.

Interesting that digg is the only male-dominated social network in this sample. I will leave it to the reader to draw any conclusions between that and the tone of the comments and focus on winning that site has.
