So CNN had an article a few days ago about the concept that there is a certain class distinction between the folks who use Facebook and Myspace.  I thought the article was pretty interesting yet a little inaccurate. Two years ago, I think the article would have been accurate. In my own personal life, all of the people I went to college and worked with were on Facebook, and the people I knew from parties, bars, and places like there could only be found on MySpace.  Now, I don’t think thats necessarily true. I think everyone has been willing to trade in the custom backgrounds and annoying profile music for a stable social network that is extremely usable and whose settings on things like privacy, photos, and apps are pretty simple to figure out.

Let’s be honest, I logged into my old Myspace on 2 consecutive days. There were a total of three status updates from my friends over a span of 24 hours. Two of them were really twitter updates, so in reality, of my 120 friends on Myspace, only one of them actually updated their Myspace status. I suspect Myspace will join the exclusive company of Webvan, Geocities, Angelfire, and Lycos very soon.
