Lauren, hi,
I just wondered, when you said:

Were you sure or did I misinterpret?  My observation of myspace 
suggests that people have to be "friends" of the person to post 
comments.    Is that just an option, or a feature of the place? 
Also, in the linked article, only the friends commented on the person 
in Facebook, I believe.  Would you elaborate?  Interesting stuff, in 
any case.

thanks,
andee
