The gender differences surprised me a bit. I would have thought it be the other way around, especially given topics. Great stuff, as usual Dan.

Interesting...I love these little studies. Out of curiosity where'd you get your sample population from and how many people was it comprised of (e.g., how many males versus females)?

Sample size? Margin of error? How confident do you feel that this was a truly random sample and representative of the overall Twitter population and not just the social media/tech types that follow you?

Seems like sexist pseudo-science to me. You quote no data source, and your metrics don't accurately reflect my retweets or those of numerous other males I follow. Maybe you just follow simpleminded men for some reason?

Interesting information. I too am curious about the sample size and where your sample population came from.

@ Maria, i too was suprised by the gender differences, though i dont want to stereotype the sexes.

Interesting enough findings to inspire a larger study by a recognized research organization...I'd say. Another variable to consider: aren't the bulk of men/women on Twitter really all about marketing or business? So "selling of yourself" is key and that can be done in different ways. Some people choose the "about me" angle and others choose the "share info" angle. It may boil down to gender to some degree, but there are also just differences in individual business style. Good conversation to start, Dan!
