How to Score With Women (as a Marketer) via Social Media

A conversation with Casey Quinlan, "Mighty Mouth" at Mighty Casey Media LLC, Zoe Dunn, Principal, Hale Advisors, Eileen O'Brien, Director, Search & Innovation, Siren Interactive, Richard Meyer, Principal Consultant, Online Strategic Solutions, and Jerry Hall, Advisor to Pearescope, about engaging and marketing to women online, especially via social media, which some new media marketers claim is "all about women."

According to a Pew Research Center Internet & American Life Project survey (see Additional Resources), "Young adult women ages 18-29 are the power users of social networking; fully 89% of those who are online use the sites overall and 69% do so on an average day. Looking more closely at gender differences, women have been significantly more likely to use social networking sites than men since 2009. As of May 2011, nearly seven in ten online women are users of social networking sites (69%), compared with six in ten online men (60%). Women are also more active in their use of these sites, with almost half of female internet users using social networking sites on a  typical day (48%), compared with 38% of male internet users."
