It's a "rough, unedited crib" of a talk given by danah boyd, and suggests that the migration of large groups of people from MySpace to Facebook as the latter was surging in popularity represents a kind of online "white flight." It's a very interesting piece, with a kind of disturbing take on how we pick our pastimes.
The discussion in comments is also interesting, with people talking about their own experiences, and ways in which the author's observations don't necessarily hold true in other countries.
