But if we'd been following both MySpace and Facebook, it would be easy to see how and why the differences come about. It doesn't take scientific studies to tell us what all of us have known across generations of high schoolers and ivy leaguers. Some things don't change--even if the technology does.

The woman performing the study focused primarily on the teen generation and why they choose the social networking sites they choose. It's a 26 page document but a very interesting read. Go to www.danah.org. It's the first or second of her writings in that section. Personally, I'm a "MySpacer" and I'm 37, married, with two cats & a dog. I love it! It helps me to keep in touch witih my friends and family. I update my site frequently and it IS set to "private" for that purpose. Anyway...go read Danah's works. She's very interesting.

That sounds like Newsweek. Everything they write about is the "defining topic of our times". Yea, thanks New York, white, rich people for determining that. I love how they write like they're somehow relevant... Nevermind the fact we were asking the Facebook v Myspace question two years ago. It's probably easier to say, young people sign on to the site that most of their real-world friends are on. And if their real-world friends are like them (nerd, prep, jock, nuts), it's no wonder you have specific groups on myspace and facebook. Haha… That sounds like Newsweek.
