...election has revealed a potential weakness. Despite her massive victory, the vote highlighted a growing polarity between the urban middle class - most of which voted for the centrist Carrio, who placed second in the national balloting - and the suburban working class and rural poor who are the traditional Peronist bastions of support.

Facebook's most predominant group of visitors in Mosaic is "affluent suburbia," a group that Mosaic describes as "the wealthiest households in the U.S., living in exclusive suburban neighborhoods enjoying the best that life has to offer." The predominant group for MySpace, on the other hand, is "struggling societies," or households that are primarily single parent, single income, raising families on lower incomes and tight budgets...
