A "WHITE flight" to Facebook has turned MySpace into a black ghetto, according to a social analyst in the US.
Danah Boyd said Facebook's arrival sparked a migration from MySpace of white users, the educated and the wealthy, while non-whites had stuck together on MySpace.
MySpace is owned by News Corp, the parent company of the publisher of NEWS.com.au.
"It wasn't just anyone who left MySpace to go to Facebook," Ms Boyd, who works with Microsoft Research New England, told a crowd at New York's
AS if your Facebook friends list didn't make you feel lonely enough, now you're bombarded with Twitter mates who seem to have racked up 10,000 followers before you've worked out what a hash tag is for.
There's no need to panic - there's nothing wrong with you. Those that matter really do care about your commute.
Just rest easy in the knowledge that all the others are buying their friends.

Politics Takes Chunk Out of White House Payroll
Mike Memoli Mike Memoli – Thu Jul 2, 1:00 am ET
During his two months on the campaign trail as Barack Obama's running mate, Joe Biden was fond of sharing his father's witticisms with audiences to illustrate a point. One of the more common ones went something like this: "Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value."
Barack Obama promised voters he would change the way Washington does business and turn the page the tired politics of the past. But newly-released documentation of White House employee salaries suggests that his administration has placed a premium on political counsel.
In Pictures: 10 of the Top Earners in Obama's Administration
Among the 22 staffers earning the top salary of $172,200 is White House director of political affairs Patrick Gaspard. His deputy, Michael Dillon, earns $113,000 a year. And four regional... [Read More]
Two days after Obama got elected, some skinny white boy named Shock with some mad beatboxing skills set up a mic and a sign that read "Free Beats" and just let anyone come up to the microphone to show off their stuff. And as a result, I now firmly believe that this guy should be hired by the city of New York as a public service, just to sit there and give out beats for anyone who wants to rap or sing or play the kazoo or whatever the fuck that hippie chick's playing
Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was cancelling plans for an exclusive "salon" at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record access to "those powerful few" — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper’s own reporters and editors.
The astonishing offer was detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he felt it was a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial staff."

I recently read an article regarding president obama's health coverage. One comment I saw stated, the middle class (not sure what median income constiututes this in canada) pay up to 50% of their gross income in taxes. The lion's share going to pay for healthcare. True? While I know that any government run plan has a monumental price tag to it. I wondered if that staggering number were true and possibly why our press is not reporting this important aspect of a government run plan? I guess that second question should be presented to people living in the US.
Andy Somora and Anna Pastuszwska were made for each other.
They cannot hold their liquor and when the police come, they keep acting up until they get tasered.
On July 19, they were married and had a wedding reception at an art gallery in Lakeside, Mich.
People drank too much. A metal lamp went through a window. Cops were called. Stun guns were pulled.
And the bride and the groom were tasered.
But wait. There’s more. The honeymoon was just as bad. The Chicago Sun-Times reported:
“The short version of the story is they didn’t want to quit their partying,” said Mike Sepic, Berrien County, Mich., chief assistant prosecutor. “If you put this in the class of wedding receptions gone bad, I guess this would take the cake.”
And the story didn’t end after the reception. Two nights later, the bride and... [Read More]
