According to information from Google+ stat trackers SocialStatistics and FindPeopleOnPlus, the new social network is dominated by men. And it’s not even close — up to 86.8% of all Google+ users are male. This distribution is much different from Facebook which has a 50/50 split of male and female users.
So girls, it’s time to break away from the comfort of your Facebook friends and venture into the wild west of a Google-sponsored social network. Trust me, it’ll be fun.[ Mashable; Shutterstock/vectomart]
You can keep up with Kelly Hodgkins, the author of this post, on Twitter or Facebook.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 3:34 PMThere are no girls on the internet. They’re all men posing as girls.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 3:36 PMIs it just me that sees the irony in Kelly saying – “girls get on google +” and ” time to break away from the comfort of your Facebook friends” but then ends her post with:
“You can keep up with Kelly Hodgkins, the author of this post, on Twitter or Facebook.”

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 4:15 PMI’m sure once it’s actually out of beta the numbers will change. I signed up cause I was interested but I’ll care more about it once more people are on it & it actually has more features.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 4:37 PMThis article just makes my own social network service idea, “Sausage Party”, seem like a more and more hilarious idea.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 5:00 PMThat just reminded me of Choco Party.
Choco party girl replaces Choco with Sausage

How does that work?
50% of the girls on facebook(stalkbook) are ‘Lesbians’ and 99% of them are guys pretending to be lesbians.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 5:46 PMI’m the one in my circle of friends who got g+ first and invited all my friends. I had more female friends on fb asking me for invites than male friends!
Mia
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 6:04 PMI’d like to join Google+ but isn’t it still invite-only at this point? Certainly wouldn’t mind if anyone with a spare invite cares to send it my way!

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 10:05 PMCurrently “29,607″ sheep that are too stupid to make their own decisions so they let google do the thinking for them.
I find it ironic that Mark Zuckerberg has almost twice as many followers as Larry Page. I had to laugh when I saw Leo Laporte there: Just shows the quality of users supporting this data mining POS.

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 10:37 PMSuccessful social networks like facebook have girls from the beginning.

Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 3:02 PMThis is a closed beta. It’s not meant for people to really know about.
Google+ hasn’t had it’s beginning yet.

Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 10:42 AMMaybe because they are smart enough to let the men wreck everything and test it all out, before collecting the completed, polished version later.
