Myspace is for uneducated people

Submitted by Ari on Mon, 06/25/2007 - 06:41.

... or so says a recent study quoted by the BBC.

Berkley PhD student Danah Boyd decided to spend 6 months researching this concept for her thesis. She discovered:

"Social networks are strongly connected to geography, race, and religion; these are also huge factors in lifestyle divisions and thus 'class'...MySpace has most of the kids who are socially ostracised at school because they are geeks, freaks, or queers"

Am I the only one who thinks it is pretty logical that a college networking site (which was restricted to only college students for a number of years) is more popular with college grads?
