Facebook open


It was only for U.S. college students, but now it's opening up to other milieus. High School students and employees of certain corporations are allowed to join. Facebook also allows users to complement their their high school, college or corporate network with a geographic network.

What will succeed in social networking? Geographic networks or social-class networks? It's an old debate: extraction Vs education, local allegiances Vs global identities.
