If I look at the groups on FB that students from my school are in - a lot are the more academically oriented (we offer the International Baccalaureate and have lots of kids going to top universities both here and in the US).
But ... if I look at "older" people on FB, like my former classmates, a lot of them aren't the ones who, like myself, went to university, and instead got married young, now have teenagers in high school (where I have a three-year-old & teach high school), and have formed FB groups like "Smoking Buddies" ...
It's definitely interesting to see where LJ enters the mix - I joined LJ before FB, but I'm still a relative newbie to both - I only joined LJ in March 06 - though I have had an online presence for many years, and have been part of things like iVillage and Themestream (which actually paid authors per click on their stories ... it didn't last too long.)
