OK. so the gist of the 'research' the BBC is presenting here is that "research suggests those using Facebook come from wealthier homes and are more likely to attend college.
By contrast, MySpace users tend to get a job after finishing high school rather than continue their education."
It would seem to me that this has more to do with university demographics than it does with the sites themselves, after all Facebook was only opened to everyone last September. Before that it was just for university students... This seems like flawed research to me. Any thoughts MR users, especially since there seem to be many here much younger, and therefore more pertinent to the research, than me?
