myspace "white flight" to facebook
 

interesting article

The wealthier, the whiter, the more suburban left MySpace and, if they went anywhere, they went to Facebook for a "more peaceful, quiet, less-public space."

For Boyd, the sites we go to reflect our idea of what "people like us" do. Another teen, 17-year-old Craig from California, put it extremely baldly (especially for a Californian):

"The higher castes of high school moved to Facebook. It was more cultured, and less cheesy. The lower class usually were content to stick to MySpace. Any high school student who has a Facebook will tell you that MySpace users are more likely to be barely educated and obnoxious."

I'd say that's pretty much spot on.

Everyone I know has now move to facebook and rarely ever see anything on myspace so I can believe this.

Yo, I fucks with myspace... :pimp

:thumbsup:thumbsup yes yes

Minorities and kids use myspace. That's it.

I am a facebook user

And I Approve this message!

Pornstars frequently have the absolute worst, seizure-inducing, glitter fucking EVERYWHERE with flashing shit and god-awful R&B playing MySpace pages. Then on their updates pages they write the most insane shit for updatess, usually venting about life in such a way that I can't believe they're not high or drunk when they wrote their updates. This is why I couldn't update newpornchicks.com because I started getting sick to death of reading that shit.

Having that said, Facebook is easy to read and doesn't assault the senses.

From a developer's standpoint, I always hated myspace.

Facebook's interface = genius.

Facebook for me is strictly for family, real friends and acquaintances from my inner circle of friends.

I stay away from people on Facebook who have over 500 friends.

+1 facebook

a lot of my friends moved to facebook and don't update their myspace anymore.

I don't use either..

It took people this long to realize that?

What's MySpace. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm still on livejournal... lol

That's a pretty retarded article without statistical analysis. Facebook used to be more exclusive when it was only Ivy leaguers. Now they've let everyone in

-- it's a foolish comparison b/c people can have simultaneous networks with only time as opp cost.

How does twitter fit into this twit's "analysis?"

I've always despised myspace. Well before the so-called "white flight"
