At first glance, the article “Does Social Networking Breed Social Division?” seems to be slightly insane. Facebook causes white flight? I thought to myself no way that is possible. You can find any person of any race, age or educational level on facebook these days so that sort of shocked me. Then I read on. I started reading about how facebook users are much faster to start “bashing” myspace users. That made me laugh a little. How many times have you facebook users been asked if you have myspace? What was your response? I recall one specific time when someone asked if they could look me up on myspace and I quickly responded with a “No way, myspace is creepy! Find me on facebook.” Rediculous right? What is the difference between the two? True facebookers will say that only got it because originally you had to have a college email account and it was a great way to keep in touch with high school friends. But now I post pictures and my aunt and mom comment on them within 10 minutes. Facebook is now the exact same a myspace and is getting worse and worse ever time an 8 or 80 year old gets an account.
