Almost 150 million Americans now use at least one social networking site, but women are far more active than men, racking up almost 100 million more visits per month. So where are the women at? It’s not shocking to hear that Pinterest is dominated by the fairer sex, but they also have a strong presence on Twitter (64 percent), Facebook (58 percent) and even social gaming – 60 percent of Zynga users are female.
