So now we're supposed to feel bad for using a certain website?

The more you feel like you should stay in your place, the less you deserve freedom.

Except for the occasional dim troll, and 0bamunist lurking, the folks here are First Class and I’m proud to be among them. Anyone who thinks less of them can go to hell.

Yes. You should have a diverse profile of on-line friends. Facebooks, Myspaces, Twitters, Xangas, LiveJournals, Blogspots, and many others should be represented. Celebrate Diversity!

Oh boy, now we are supposed to be worried about class envy due to switching websites. Get a life, you attention whores. You want to get in touch? There’s a device called a phone. You use your fingers to press the # of the person you wish to “get in touch with” and presto! And no “guilt” involved.

What is it with CNN and facebook?? Wasn’t it not too long ago they put out some snarky editorial about the different types of people who are on facebook? All the different bad traits about them?

Methinks thou dost protest too much, CNN...

Something’s worrying them.

I know that free republic is park avenue all the way. Everyone I meet here is either a doctor or a lawyer or someone studying for the bar or some guy going to his b’shimcha.

High class people here all around!

these types of studies are intended to lead to site condemnation ultimately. If free speech exists there is no point to the study. Another divisive crack to exploit in our Americana.

who works for an affordable-housing nonprofit

Why does the media think that these ACORN-style nonprofits represent America's viewpoint? Can't they ask this question of a construction worker? a CNC operator? an office administrator? My guess is that people read that and roll their eyes.

Or is it that those types are too busy doing actual productive work to answer questions?

I have a myspace page for my band and an original one I used to check up on my teenaged daughter, who is now 22. I haven’t touched it in years.

I finally opened a facebook account a few weeks ago but seem to have signed it up using a misspelled email address and now cannot access it.

Meh. My social network is who I meet in real life. I don’t post personal stuff on a public site, other than quips at places like here.

What I don’t get is that there aren’t any barriers to joining any of these sites. No one is excluded from joining. If certain types of people prefer a certain site, WHO CARES?!

Is there a class divide online? Research suggests yes. A recent study by market research firm Nielsen Claritas found that people in more affluent demographics are 25 percent more likely to be found friending on Facebook, while the less affluent are 37 percent more likely to connect on MySpace.

I'm not familar with either system.

But I have heard mothers talk about letting their teenage daughters access this type of site. I hear overwhelmingly that MySpace is trashy, with sex and drugs and violence having a heavy presence. The feeling seems to be that, if your teenage daughter absolutely has to go on one of these sites, Facebook is much cleaner and less discomforting.

Don't know if that's true. But there does seem to be the sense that MySpace is "the wrong side of the tracks".

If a person is seriously anal about their career, they can create a facebook account that is very professional with all sorts of professional “friends” and comments. Then, when potential employers scour around for information on you they will be duly impressed.

And if you have a facebook account they will almost CERTAINLY find it and review it. You can pretty much count on it.

Note, I work with an HR department as part of my job.

I had heard it wasn’t about social class so much as Facebook was more of a myspace for grown ups. The younger crowd likes myspace. The old folks like the interactivity of facebook.

MySpace is owned by Murdoch.
Facebook is privately owned.
