N and O discovers Facebook
The News and Observer discovers Facebook and describes it to readers in this article which appeared with lots of graphics in the center front of the State section today. UNC Researcher and Grad student Fred Stutzman gets to describe a bit of his own discoveries in about 3 sentences, but you’ve read more on this blog.
A speculation: Based on our reading would women have more active social networks than men? Any other Facebook gender differences that you might predict?
Based on our readings, I would expect that women would have more facebooks than men, but our readings are old enough that they might need to be updated with data from younger men to find out if they are using technology differently than their fathers.
Here is an interesting article from MarketWatch on Facebook.
