Is twitter gaining on facebook?

In spite of the headlines, and the feeling I get that "everybody" is on twitter - highschoolers, college kids, brands and wannabe-brands, this is what a major web-traffic data site has to say about that question:

Facebook remains heavily dominant over twitter

Facebook, with its #2 ranking and 45% reach, maintains a 5-1 lead over twitter (about 9% average reach for Q1 2013 and ranked 10th most popular site in the world).  It's what the data says.  Now one could question the sample e.g. who uses the alexa tool? 

Poverty and women

Women earn less.  Women do a lot of unpaid labour.  Men enjoy a lot of unpaid labour.  There are few women at the highest-earning levels.   Many boards should have more women.  Many marriages do not help women as much as they help men.  For instance, most homes in Nigeria are owned by the men, and not co-owned by the women. 

Here is the US data on women's earnings:

The poverty class is 60% female.  The wealthy end is about 30% female.  OK.
