A survey carried out in the US found that there was a clear difference between the users of MySpace and Facebook in the USA. MySpace users were more likely to be ‘teens from immigrant, Latino and Hispanic families… as well as many others who are not part of the “dominant high school popularity paradigm”.’

In contrast, Facebook users ‘tend to be white and come from families who are keen for children to get the most out of school and go on to college’.

Visually, these two in particular are also divided considering that they do pretty much the same thing. You could almost guess their userbase just from the way they look.

Oh, and ensures random twitters are posted to my blog to make it look like I'm busier than the Prime Minister. EgoSpace could be the name :-)</p> As someone struggling to find time to maintain their Friends Reunited, Linked-in, MSN and Facebook profiles, not to mention the plethora of other social sharing sites such as MySpace, Bebo, YouTube, Last.fm, Virb, Delicious (aaaaargh - too many!) the app I want most is a one-stop-shop solution which allows me too pump my stuff out to as many different sites possible - preferably one which automatically generates contacts (illegitimate or otherwise) to ensure I look as popular as possible.
