Another BBC article recently highlights &#8216;user promiscuity&#8217; in social sites.

&#8220;MySpace is running out of breath, while Bebo and Facebook are fast catching up. That&#8217;s the message from the latest figures on social networking in Britain. MySpace has long been the leading site for young networkers who want to run their social lives online. But research [...]]]></description>

The BBC recently published an article on Social sites (MySpace and Facebook) and class divide. The article is based on recent research by US PhD student Danah Boyd from the School of Information Sciences at UC Berkeley.

Youth Tech is a great blog I&#8217;ve been reading. It&#8217;s &#8220;a discussion about using technology in creative ways to enrich the lives of youth.&#8221; It&#8217;s an American site but has a lot of excellent resources in this area.
