63% of Retweets Are of Male Users

There may be more women on Twitter, but its male users that are dominating in retweets.

Swedish-based Crossing Boarders has developed a tool called Twee-Q — or “Twitter Equality Quotient” — that reveals how many men and women are retweeted by each individual Twitter user. According to the collected results so far, men are significantly leading the retweet race.

Of the more than 11,000 tests conducted via the tool, men make up 63% of all retweets compared to only 37% of women.

Even President Obama’s account — which is run by his campaign team — retweets men (79%) more than women (21%). Rapper Snoop Dogg also favors male retweets (84%).

However, both Lady Gaga and Ellen DeGeneres are equal retweet opportunists, retweeting men and women the same amount.

“We want to change the world by showing how each of us rank women and men when contributing to a conversation,” Twee-Q said on via a translation on its site. “Only when we see how we act, who we choose to listen to and acknowledge, can we take the first steps toward a truly equal society.”

To see if you retweet men or women more, type your Twitter handle into Twee-Q here.

Thousands of Twitter passwords exposed

It's unclear who's responsible for posting passwords for Twitter accounts to a public Web site. The exact number of accounts is also unclear, as Twitter says many are duplicates and many had already been suspended.

Twitter is investigating the release of what appear to be thousands of user account passwords and e-mail addresses.

"We are currently looking into the situation. In the meantime, we have pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected," Twitter spokesman Robert Weeks told CNET in an e-mail. "For those who are concerned that their account may have been compromised, we suggest resetting your passwords and more in our Help Center."

The user data, so vast that it took five Pastebin pages to post, was released yesterday andblogged about on Airdemon.net, putting the number of accounts affected at 55,000 or more. It's unclear who posted the data, and why.

"It's worth noting that, so far, we've discovered that the list of alleged accounts and passwords found on Pastebin consists of more than 20,000 duplicates, many spam accounts that have already been suspended, and many log-in credentials that do not appear to be linked (that is, the password and username are not actually associated with each other)," he said.Weeks disputed that estimate, noting that many of the passwords and accounts seemed like duplicates.

The list does seem a bit odd, with many passwords that appeared to be robust, and a separation between e-mail addresses and user IDs that hacker Adrian Lamo noted on Twitter wasn't representative of a typical password dump.
