When Danah Boyd wrote her blog post and related essay, Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace,” I thought it was well-crafted and provided a thought-provoking, nuanced insight into a complex, but important online and cultural phenomenon. Unfortunately, by the time it made it into this Forbes.com article, it seems like tripe.

At the Nashville Room of the Nashville (TN) public library, you better be on MyGenes.com than MySpace.com. Not sure what that says about class - maybe more about the demand for computers at the main library in general.

As a number of local public servants have said in my presence over the years, why do we need computers at a place full of books? (And a few have said the - converse? obverse? - why do we need libraries when “everybody” has a computer?)
