Social and cultural affordances of myspace and facebook

Danah Boyd has a blog entry about a paper she's working on that says that richer college-bound teens are more likely to use Facebook, and that poorer less-likely-to-be-college-bound teens are more likely to use MySpace. Her article is decidedly more nuanced than that. I suggest that you read it if you are at all interested in how kids socialize and interact. Couros comments on it as well.
