and I tell you who you are… I just came across a really interesting study by Danah Boyd, a female US social scientist, especialized on social networks. He has just published a first essay on “Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace“. She comes to the conclusion (in an what he says is not an academic article) that the “good” white kids with higher education are leaving MySpace and migrate to Facebook whereas the non-white, freaky, geeky kids, with parents who did not go to college are on MySpace.

It’s interesting to see how the virtual world reflects the real world: the digital divide is going on even in the age of the digital natives.
