There are many out there making millions who maybe great target market/ audience for consumer goods but perhaps MAY NOT be great target for classy talks. What do you really want from a social networking site? Answer that and you have answered where you want to be. But how does it all matter how much users make.

It may not be as "good" as some of the social networking sites quickly gaining share, but it was here early on. A marketing professor once told me, "You don't have to be there best, you just have to be there first - become best later." That's been true in more circumstances than I'd like to have seen it be.

I believe the logic in your article is slightly flawed, because it seems like you confuse "being on myspace" with "having a site on myspace". The quote about MySpace demographics is an attack on the user-base that actively uses MySpace. If we take average demographics based upon click-rations, I suspect the results are not very favorable for myspace. Your counter-argument was poorly placed because it appears you are referring to the demographic of total users that have MySpace sites. In that respect, yes, many many educated, well-paid people have MySpace pages. The question is, do they spend their time checking/updating MySpace, or do they spend their time on Facebook or LinkedIn? My guess is that most adult, middle- and upper-class are primarily on more "mature" social networks nowadays. This does not mean they immediately deactivate their old MySpace pages.

If there were anything that ever illustrated an ivory tower view regarding social networking, it would be the constant derision of MySpace. I'm not a fan of any social networking sites, but it's plainly obvious that MySpace is ground zero for new music, film and media creation on the internet. Myspace is still the hotbed of where independent artists find a wider audience. Don't really see that on Facebook. Facebook is more along the lines of 'first you get the khakis then you get the women'. He’s NOT right at all.
