Do Men Use Facebook Differently Than Women?

Do Men Use Facebook Differently Than Women? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Facebook is all about connecting with others. Your connections are called “friends” whether you actually know them in real life or not. Men and women both friend others on the network, but they’re very different in how they do it.


Social media has become ubiquitous. It seems like everyone has a Facebook or Twitter account these days. It’s actually more common to hear some say, “Message me on Facebook,” than it is to hear them say, “call me” or “email me”. Social networks have become our online homes where we interact and communicate with friends and family, as well as with businesses that we patronize.


It’s a social world out there, but there are some striking differences between how different people use those social networks, particularly when comparing the different ways that men and women use Facebook...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Vive la difference but use it to your advantage in content marketing.

MediaPost Publications Who Cares If Facebook Becomes A Teenage Wasteland? 10/31/2013

MediaPost Publications Who Cares If Facebook Becomes A Teenage Wasteland? 10/31/2013 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

So last night, minutes after the Boston Red Sox had handily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, my husband went on Facebook, and saw a status update from our son – the kid whose profile picture is of him sitting on a couch (in real life!) with World Series MVP David Ortiz. And it proclaimed, “2013 WORLD CHAMPION BOSTON RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.”


My husband then turned to me and asked the central question concerning modern-day Facebook usage: “Should I ‘Like’ it?”


I advised him not to. Nothing spoils a teenager’s World Series ecstasy faster than a father “Liking” his post about it. And that, friends – Facebook or not – helps explain why Facebook stock rode highs and lows yesterday upon release of its third quarter earnings. 

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Great counterpoint view of Facebook, its users and its utility for social marketing.
