Brian: Your research and a few other articles I read inspired a blog post focusing on what the growing class divide means for the industry I'm engaged in (health marketing communications). When you get a chance, please take a look at my thoughts. I'd love to get your (and others') comments on what I think is a very important issue: http://blog.pathoftheblueeye.com/2009/10/16/wha....

Nice analysis. I would caution folks not to read the data on income levels on social nets and other tools as meaning that communities of color are not engaged online. I've said this in the past, and I'll say it again here: the digital divide is not based on race, but income. A few months back I talked about this issue during a Webinar produced the U.S. federal agency AIDS.gov (which is affiliated with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

Great overview of how the HHS and its sister agencies are leading the charge to educate about swine flu via social media. However, while it is appropriate to celebrate their accomplishments, there is a lot more that needs to be done. See my post titled, "H1N1 Communications: Is HHS Winning the Social Media Game, But Failing Where it Counts the Most?" for more information. View it here: http://tinyurl.com/yzw5kjh
