There’s a part in the article about how the Anne Owens lady interviewed a student who said something to the effect of “I don’t want to be racist, but like, MySpace is just ghetto.” The article then goes on to says that “that’s when it hit her [Owens]”. Owens then proceeds to talk about how Facebook was essentially being overwhelmingly used by whites in an attempt to separate themselves from the “ghetto” users on MySpace.
Total bull.
That definitely is bull! In my view, those who like facebook are the kinds who want to go to a party and interact. Myspace is like stnading in front of the party guests, saying “look at me”, then maybe talking to a few people over in the corner. I pulled down my myspace to the bare bones and will rebuild it as a portfolio site.
