Why Myspace?

[coolchic]

There have been so many tragic incidents since the launch of myspace.
Teenagers from myspace expose themselves to the world. Think for a minute before you give out your information to the whole world:
- Your age
- Your address
- Your pictures
And other information even the parents would never know or guess? For what? Social networking?
Give me a physical break!

All they (myspace) care is getting advertisers (they're not good advertisers either) and collect the money - Nobody care about you but yourself and your parent!

Let Ban Myspace!

You have nothing better to do with your time?

No, seriously.

I don't understand what do you mean?

Do you not agree? If not, please explain!

I think it grew EVEN bigger after the online business industry decided to step in. Most teenage-related businesses (not a lot, but still) started creating profiles and such.

It isn't even a social networking website now, it's more of an advertising/information hive

Anyone who uses MySpace is shallow.. I'm 15 and never even step foot on the site; and I'm tempted to block it's referrer by default.. but I won't, because some of my close friends do use it a lot.

Shallow, shallow people that I am friends with.. personally I do not know why anybody would use myspace; but I suppose it is now a fad, and more about vanity.. in a few years people who do use it will be hated - why is society so strange ?

I have to disagree with you. First off, these wannabe "protestors" seem to be unable to back up any of their points.

Myspace, shouldn't be ban what so ever. The addiction that children have on Myspace have today is just temporary problem. I heard the same thing about Friendster awhile back, and removing Myspace isn't going to do anything but taking off one today's popular websites. Even if Myspace is gone there are still many more dangerous people/contents lurking in our computers. What is the difference between Myspace and Yahoo chats, Aim, Friendster, Xanga, Piczo, Tagged, You Tube, MSN messenger(preinstalled in any Microsoft PC), Bebo, Forums, and other Blogs. These examples are just a small fraction of what's installed for your children. However these websites/messengers are able to be but to good uses for example tutoring on any homework or tests, express your creativity, make friends, even talk about their problems that they're unable to express in person.
