Different Sides of Online Tracks

Interesting post on Feministing about "The Online Class Divide," specifically the ways that MySpace and Facebook have divided up the online social networking world.

Or, more to the point, the way that people have segregated themselves on the two sites...largely along racial and class lines, according to the argument here. I signed up for Facebook just because it was the one promoted on the university website when I started grad school--I didn't realize I was following trends established by my social status.

I suppose one often doesn't.
