So...Murdoch Owns the Equivalent of an On-line Trailer Park?
Well, this researcher at U.C. Berkeley -- her name is danah boyd, spelled with small letters -- has concluded that MySpace and Facebook represent a new social divide.
Bottom line: The upper-echelon kids are on Facebook and the rest muck around in MySpace.
As boyd writes about Facebook's natives: "They are in honors classes, looking forward to the prom, and live in a world dictated by after school activities." MySpace, she writes, "has most of the kids who are socially ostracized at school because they are geeks, freaks, or queers."
Really?
