I found this paper a while ago through another blog I read a lot, Gizmodo. It talkx about how members of Facebook and MySpace are divided by their real-life social status. Facebook tends to cater more towards what author calls “good” kids. These are college-bound, preppy  teenagers. MySpace users are usually part of the lower class society, people who are often classified as geeks or freaks. The author also talks a little about the impact of these two websites on the military. MySpace is banned by the military, but Facebook is not. What makes this point interesting is because MySpace is primarily used by soldiers, and Facebook is used by officers. Soliders are often lower class undereducated individuals, while officer usually come from a higher social group with more education.I felt this paper had a lot of ties to the ideas we talked about earlier with balanced networks. In the early days of these two social networks, Facebook was closed to the general public, so most people only had MySpace. Essentially, in the beginning there was only one giant unstable network. Slowly, facebook opened to college students, and started creating a network system, increasing stability. Many high schools were eagerly awaiting acceptance into college so they could join the new network. Finally, once Facebook opened its doors to the general public, everyone who was not part of the so called “MySpace crowd” was able to move, and the network is now essentially stable (at least on the internet). It’s a pretty interesting paper, and well worth a read through.Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace
