The Role of Gender on Social Network Websites

---

s Facebook and MySpace, have become booming sources of communication that strengthen peoples’ existing offline relationships. Many of our interpersonal needs such as trust, empathy, and support are satisfied through these media. When a user goes to make a profile for a specific SNW, he/she does it in a way that will connect him/her to whomever that user wishes. Modern research on this topic is hardly concrete, but it reveals the kinds of people and interests that are involved with SNWs (boyd and Ellison 129, Cardon et al. 56, Hargittai 285). It indicates different uses and perceptions between genders but does not include the specific kinds of language their users articulate compared to other electronic forms of communication, such as e-mail (Parks and Roberton 234, Gefen and Straub 392).
