A study of social network website users in the US has shown a class divide between MySpace and Facebook users.

There's another story about cultural/class choice of technology on Slashdot today. A researcher has found that nearly all Democrat election sites use Linux, while two thirds of Republican sites use Windows. http://politics.slashdot.org/politics/07/06/27/1528247.shtml
