I live for this kind of stuff.

A thoroughly researched blog entry by a PhD candidate at Berkeley entitled "Viewing American class differences through Facebook and Myspace": http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2007/06/24/viewing_america.html

At least 50% of it is bullshit.  But at least 25% of it is interesting and quite possibly true.

Interesting article. Perhaps it is because I am from this culture that I took mild offense at some of his remarks. And many of my friends do maintain both MySpace and Facebook accounts. And I get what he says about aesthetics. But the somewhat relaxed style of it does bother me..."le sigh"? Seriously. But I liked reading it...thanks.
