Class divide between Facebook and My Space


Posted: Oct 14, 2009

Which do you use - Facebook or MySpace?

Excerpt:

Is there a class divide online? Research suggests yes. A recent study by market research firm Nielsen Claritas found that people in more affluent demographics are 25 percent more likely to be found friending on Facebook, while the less affluent are 37 percent more likely to connect on MySpace.

More specifically, almost 23 percent of Facebook users earn more than $100,000 a year, compared to slightly more than 16 percent of MySpace users. On the other end of the spectrum, 37 percent of MySpace members earn less than $50,000 annually, compared with about 28 percent of Facebook users.

follow that younger people make less money than older people, and kids on up to 20s seem to prefer myspace while 30s on up seem to prefer Facebook... I think it's age rather than class.

I use Facebook - easier. - ncmt

I've been on for about 10 months. One of my friends from my hometown contacted me, and told me to get a Facebook account so I could see her pictures. I really enjoy keeping up with old friends. I have always thought Myspace was more for music, and Facebook more for socializing. For example, my son's band is on Myspace.

i use to love myspace - either one is okay

a lot of old friends found me on there, but then after a couple of weeks we get sucked back into our lives and just lose touch again. I think it is a great tool. Facebook I have an account but I have not even done anything to it because I just stopped and said... how many of these things do I need? Plus my sister in law is on Facebook so it can't be all that great! -joke

Thought this out carefully. Liberals will live in northeast states and midwest. Conservatives can have california and the south.

Trump And The American Divide. This Is A Long ButJan 16, 2017
and this is just an excerpt... Barack Obama’s two electoral victories deluded the Democrats into thinking that it was politically wise to jettison their old blue-collar appeal to the working classes, mostly living outside the cities these days, in favor of an identity politics of a new multicultural, urban America. Yet Trump’s success represented more than simply a triumph of rural whites over multiracial urbanites. More ominously for liberals, it also suggested that a growing minority o ...

"The difference is no longer about where people live, it's about how people live: in spread-out, open, low-density privacy -- or amid rough-and-tumble, in-your-face population density and diverse communities that enforce a lower-common denominator of tolerance among inhabitants. The voting data suggest that people don't make cities liberal -- cities make people liberal." Those maps dividing the country into red and blue states haven't made sense in a lon ...

Castro Wants Guantanamo Back. He Must Need More SpaceMar 21, 2016
This sleazebag actually said "Political prisoners?  What political prisoners?  Give me names!" - and did it with the popeyed innocent expression of an infant. Obama then bloviated about the salutary effects of "interaction" between the two countries - implying that if we trade together, human rights will naturally come to Cuba.  Mr. Obama has obviously never heard of China (no, Barry, not "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholson).  You know, that biggish country due west of San Fran ...

I'm not sure what to make of this, but this entire Russian-Ukraine issue has me nervous. The first 2 paragraphs of the article are here. The rest is at the link. I know a lot of you don't like Fox News, but my feeling is that this is not a right or left wing article. A top Russian official sanctioned by President Obama in the wake of the Ukraine crisis is playing a key role in the Pentagon's space program, and thereby continuing to benefit from a lucrative no-bid contract that th ...

Facebook - No State/federal TaxesFeb 17, 2013
It hasn’t drawn much attention, but Facebook’s first annual earnings report contains an accounting gem: a multibillion-dollar tax deduction for the cost of executive stock options and share awards. Even though Facebook (FB) reported $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from U.S. operations in 2012, it will probably pay zero federal and state taxes—and even receive a federal tax refund of about $429 million—according to a Feb. 14 statement from Citizens for Tax Justice. The tax-research ...

I truly believe that Barrack Obama is holding something over the heads of our congress members just as he has done to the media and judicial system. He bribes, he threatens and he intimidates to get what he wants. I know this has gone on for years but this man is evil and he has the Muslim Brotherhood backing him. He is sending them billions of dollars and weaponry to form a strong army to use against us and he is even building an army here at home guised under the name of the Department of Home ...
