"...low self-esteem correlates with higher levels of online social networking."

Raghav Singh writes another great article over on ERE, inviting furor when he states: "Research also suggests that low self-esteem correlates with higher levels of online social networking."

One respondent seemed highly irritated at Raghav's claim. Raghav defended it by saying:
This is why social networks are not easy to mine as a source of hires. Not everyone that engages in online social networking has low self-esteem, but it provides greater benefits for those that experience low self-esteem. That’s not an opinion - there are plenty of studies that indicate this - such as this one from Michigan State.

Anyhoo, the article is a good one, and invites thought. What are yours? Read the whole thing here.
