“On a per capita basis, MySpace has 4% more women visiting its site than Facebook. Facebook users tend to be more affluent, with its users skewing towards households earning over $60,000 per year, while MySpace users skew toward lower income levels, with 12% more of its users earning under $60,000 per year. Using the psychographic system Mosaic to track U.S. Internet users, it's clear that there's a class distinction between users of the two social networks. 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. “Source: www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1675244,00.html

Caveat emptor
You’re still trying to get a handle on your basic software infrastructure
Your target audiences aren’t using social networking
You don’t have time to experiment with something that might not work
You don’t have a high tolerance for things that don’t always work like they should
You aren’t ready to invest in gaining a real understanding of the medium
You want to maintain firm control of your brand and message
