The Freakonomics blog asked six experts — — Martin Baily, Danah Boyd, Steve Chazin, Judith Donath, Nicole Ellison, and William Reader — to consider the question Is MySpace Good for Society? or, more precisely:

“Has social networking technology (blog-friendly phones, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) made us better or worse off as a society, either from an economic, psychological, or sociological perspective?”

Their replies are mostly in the affirmative.
