Women Tweet 12% More Than Men: REPORT

A new report from HubSpot examines whether the sexes behave differently on Twitter.

Their conclusion? They do.

HubSpot looked at 9 million Twitter accounts--excluding outliers, like celebrities--and concluded that women are "more social" on Twitter than men.

HubSpot found that although men and women have an equitable number of followers, women tend to tweet and follow more--12% and 2% more than men, respectively. (see graph below)

Separate research into Twitter's demographics found that women also slightly outnumber men (53% vs. 47%).

So a study was done to conclude that women talk more than men? ;-)

I'm surprised Roger Ebert's Twitter account doesn't completely compensate for the rest of men. He is obsessive. Makes me wonder if he has his laptop open while watching films.

Tweeting is gossip, once removed. Women gossip more than men, ergo, they tweet more than men.
