Is Twitter Biased to Men?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Tweeple, people who “tweet” on Twitter, need to communicate in “messages” that are 140 characters or less. Men, in general, have fewer words in their vocabulary. Studies show men have approximately 1/4 to 1/3 the number of words in their “verbal arsenal” compared to a woman’s verbal capacity. This begs the question…

Does Twitter’s 140-character limitation favor men, since they use fewer words?

Women talk more than men, in general. Women are more relational and talk with others more, a quality that makes women good at marketing and communication. But, (all joking here) men talk a lot too, often about themselves.

Twitter Over Capacity, Brought down by Men?Have you every talked using 140 characters? Is this possible? Yes! Conversations on Twitter often make this micro-blogging platform sink like a whale, and tweetie birds have to carry it back to life. Since men do “whale” in speaking with so few words, I’m assuming more men than women “tweet” on Twitter.

Hypothesis: Gabby men of few words are taking Twitter down!
