Coolness Levels for Social Networks

With the announcements of Google OpenSocial and Microsoft Facebook, we can now establish coolness levels for social networks.
Top Tier: Facebook and MySpace. Facebook is the Prom Queen whose inflated reputation took a bit of a dive when she screwed around with that rich jock Ballmer. MySpace is the big bully who was reformed by the Campus King, Google. Unfortunately, due to that Ballmer affair, the Campus King and the Prom Queen aren’t talking to each other right now.
Middle Tier: Everyone in the OpenSocial alliance. These kids are cool enough to hang out with MySpace. Orkut is the Campus King’s little brother, so he manages to squeeze into this circle.
Bottom Tier: Everyone else. Multiply, for instance, has to hook up with some ugly foreign girl to get laid.
Everyone in a higher tier gets to laugh at everyone in a lower tier for some perceived uncoolness or another. Welcome back to high school.
