bryant-m: For the past seven months I’ve been trying to make sense of a recent phenomenon on Facebook that bears significance to my current research interest in mixed martial arts. Beginning in January of this year the UFC started streaming live fights off of both their pay-per-view and cable undercard; an… I like your example that you use to relate to the topic examined in Danah Boyds article. I dont really know much about UFC and I dont watch it but my brother is a big fan, he doesnt order the fights but he watches it online. The internet is not as easily accessible for everyone as it is for us, and Boyd sheds light on the interesting users on Facebook and Myspace.  How sites like these are intended for social networking it does not necessarily bring everyone together but more so I think is a cyber separation of class. Technology does not bring cultural harmony but separates us even more from people who are different from us.
