MySpace suicide in the New Yorker

I read an article called "Friend Game" by Lauren Collins in the 1/21 New Yorker. It's about a girl who committed suicide because of an escalating MySpace scenario between herself and a boy who was really her neighbors. A whole family got involved in communicating with this 14-year old girl and getting her all worked up. The article went over those details as well as the problems between the two families since the suicide. I guess that something like this happened says something about where our culture is at at this particular moment, but honestly I found the article dissapointing and boring. Just kind of pointless...
