Study: Women check socnets, email more often than men

That according to new data out from MyLife and Harris Interactive. According to the report 95% of female respondents were members of Facebook while only 86% of men were; most women (67%) logged on to the social network at least once per day. Only about half of male Facebookers are daily visitors.

As for email, men and women both average three email accounts, but nearly all (83%) of women check their primary email at least once per day compared to 75% of men.

"They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and clearly those different communication styles ring true online as well," said Jeff Tinsley, CEO of MyLife. "Women are more afflicted with FOMO than men, reporting a greater fear of missing out on something important reported online and logging in more frequently to check both Facebook and their email accounts. And, while many social networks are as popular with men and women, they're using them for different reasons."

Other interesting findings include:

• 13% of women say they logon to Facebook less than once/week; 20% of men do the same
• 25% of women say they check social networks before email and as soon as they wake up
• 44% of women say they use Pinterest for content consumption
• Men are more likely to check Twitter than women
