Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace


Earlier this quarter, Elyse made a blog post about an article on Cause Global: Social Media For Social Change's blog regarding a Net researcher's findings on "white flight" from MySpace to Facebook. That Net researcher was ethnographer, danah boyd.

Danah boyd's initial research can be found here. Although she admits that her post, "Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace," is not meant to be an academic article, she illustrates many interesting points regarding how class divisions play out among teens on social networking sites.
