I recently completed a project examining differences between rural and urban MySpace users. Currently, I have a paper in submission. ssh. This is really just a placeholder for that paper once it’s published (somewhere). I took an quantitative approach, and found the following: rural users have much smaller networks much closer to home, rural users value privacy more and women represent a much greater proportion of rural users. I will write more once the paper comes out.
