American Class Divisions Through Facebook and MySpace

Jamie found this paper earlier about American Class Divisions and Facebook and MySpace. The paper talks about the history of the two sites, what groups tend to use what site. They also talk about what proponents of each site think of the other. It's actually an interesting read and worth your time.

    Five paragraphs into this 'article' and it became clear the author needs to rethink college and stay in MySpace.

    I think that might actually fall under the "young boy network"...

    Actually, the quality of facebook users has been declining ever since they opened the site to non-Harvard students.

    I agree. Myspace users wouldn't know vintage port from the turpentine they use to thin the paint on their shanties.

    No, "retarted," as in "We're all tarts...again."
