Google+ is a sausage fest according to third-party user stats

Google’s latest social networking effort may finally be the winner the Internet giant has so desperately been looking for. The invite-only beta service launched late last month and as per the company’s statements made during its earnings call on Thursday, it has already amassed more than 10 million users in just over two weeks. According to user statistics supplied by third-party social monitors SocialStatistics and FindPeopleOnPlus, the overwhelming majority of people using Google+ so far are male. FindPeopleOnPlus tracks nearly a million Google+ profiles and it shows that about three quarters of Plus users are male. SocialStatistics uses a significantly smaller sample of about 30,000 user profiles, but it suggests that 87% of Google+ profiles belong to men. There’s no question that Google+ is the talk of the Web right now, but those looking for a network with a decent sized female population should probably look elsewhere — mySpace, perhaps?

    When new technology is released, girls tend not to be the first to jump on it.  Guys love it and spread the word.  Simple fact.

    Most people that ask me for invites are girls. I can’t speek for the whole country but in the NYC area there are plenty of female geek and techies. People are also looking for a break from Facebook and Twitter is not doing it for them.

    Another slow day eh? Is this really newsworthy? Pleeeease.

    This is unavoidable. If you drop by any college campus, and survey the lecture hall of computer science 101, it is male dominant.

      Newsworthy? Do you think BGR is news? It’s certainly BGR worthy.

    Makes sense.  Women will make it just like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. Absolutely useless as they talk about crap no one wants to hear.  Like pap smears and nail color.  This is a place that I hope we can get away from them since they are constantly monitoring your friends and status updates.

    Really?  Just scanned my circles and i’d say there are quite a few females… maybe 40% is best guess.

    I read this, and thought that I would share this with you:

     

    It’s easy to see why RIM will be the dominant Smartphone
    player in the east.

     

    Apple is an American company; Apple pays taxes to the American
    government. The government uses that money to purchase weapons and missiles, to
    use against the people of the east.

     

    Android is software made by Google. Google is an American
    company; Google pays taxes to the American government. The government uses that
    money to purchase weapons and missiles, to use against the people of the east.

     

    Nokia and Microsoft together. Microsoft is an American
    company; Microsoft pays taxes to the American government. The government uses
    that money to purchase weapons and missiles, to use against the people of the
    east.

     

    RIM is a Canadian company. Canadians love everyone. 

     

    Nokia use to do very well out east. But now that they have
    joined an American company, it’s an entire new ball game.

      Wow, your post is nutty and not relevant in any way to the article. You are in the right place mate.

    It also might be that women are more attached to there facebooks being as they keep there entire lives on there as opposed to most men who only have social networks to keep in touch with friends…

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, LiveCent.com

    I’m on Google Plus, but so far nobody else that I know is, so it sucks!  Have over 200 facebook “friends” and not a single one is on Google Plus.  Until they open it up to the public its useless to me.
