[iDC] viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace

[danah boyd]

I've been trying to write an essay for a while about the class  
dynamics around Facebook and MySpace.  I finally gave up and realized  
that I didn't have the proper words for talking about this issue so I  
wrote an essay with caveats.  I offer it to you to tear to shreds in  
the hopes that maybe some good can come out of it.  (I didn't include  
the full text here because it's long - i hope the link doesn't  
discourage folks from checking it out.)  Feedback is *very* welcome.
