I always assumed that Americans were less interested in class than say the UK but ...

"A project has revealed a sharp division along class lines among the American teenagers flocking to the social network sites.

"The research suggests those using Facebook come from wealthier homes and are more likely to attend college.

"By contrast, MySpace users tend to get a job after finishing high school rather than continue their education.

Is there any truth in this do you think?

And if so do you think it is possible that v7N members can be placed in a 'class' or are we a 'class-less' group?
