A PhD candidate at Berkeley by the name of Danah Boyd has been studying blogging and social networking and to put it simply, 'good' kids use Facebook and 'bad' kids use MySpace. Do you agree?

Oh yes. I am very square and I love facebook. And Paris Hilton has a MySpace page.

That's pretty much a huge overgeneralization and is overlooking the fact that when Facebook first launched it was "students only" as in you had to be in college or earlier... Of course that's going to skew the demographic!
