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.

I was just telling my sister yesterday: "Facebook is Myspace for people who actually graduated high school."

Wow

Is it really a summary paper

[Super Dave Osbourne]

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

Too retarted to spell "retarded"?

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."

Superficial, judgemental fool?

I don't care how insightful somebody's work may be. If it is too painful to read, it isn't worth it.

Some of us purposefully use carefully constructed language designed to cause snobs to glance over our ideas, dude.
If you judge a book by it's cover, you're not righteous enough to receive the teachings within.

Thanks! Glad I'm in your prayers.

Retarted is when you have second helpings of those little pies, or when you have such a good time with a hooker you solicit her services again.

I'm blown away by your very personal and oh so valid opinion.

"I've yet to see this so-called purpose defined, outside of some abstract "all my friends use it" comment. "

Hey, I've got a special purpose!!

Yes, I found that most of my old high school friends on MySpace are pedophiles too.
