With the exception of Digg, all the major social networking sites had more women than men. I wonder why? Why do you think so? Personally, I know I have been on social networking sites since 1992 via Usenet and IRC. Yes, you might not have heard of these two, but this is way before Google came to the picture, kiddos.

I think what it comes down to is that women are for the most part more comfortable with expressing themselves with the written (or in this case typed) word and men prefer spoken communication. I am sure that if you looked just at youtube accounts the majority of the content on their is from men. It is recorded spoken word.
The other reason might be that men are just lazy and prefer the easiest way to communicate.

Very good observation. It all depends on how mena nd women prefer to communicate and how they communicate - perhaps its a DNA thing or it is a socially taught behavior. Regardless, this is evident on how people communicate and share, both online and offline.
