What are some of your views on www.myspace.com ? I do have a Myspace page. Some people are against it because some people get others to meet them places and then kill or rape them. I Think that you should never meet anyone you meet on the internet. I htink the should keep Myspace up and running. It is a good way for friends and family to keep intouch.

People will always be stupid and go meet stranger from the Internet, they did it non-stop before Myspace and they will contine to do it forever... it's not Myspace's fault... it's the idiots that go off and meet total strangers out of nowhere.

hmm yeh i agree i havn't had a problem with it, i personally think its a good thing i finished high school 4 years ago so people i havnt seen in 4 years i've just started talking to again thro myspace, i think its a good way to keep in touch with people you know, if you dont know someone when you add them to ur friends list you just go into their myspace and read what kind of a person they seem like if they seem to be werid or dirty or something you deny their request, if you add someone that sounds alright and they turn out to be strange you delete them off your list, i'm sorry but i don't understand in so many ways why the internet is that bad i mean i have used it since i was about 12 years old and i had the brains to know that if someone older than me talks to me not to talk back i still  do it, i don't meet people from the internet unless they are connected to a friend of my own that i actully know so i can ask my friend what kind of a person they are if they are a bad person then i won't meet them otherwise i might. I've never been in danger from people on the net because i've never met people from the net and i've never given out personal infomation.

myspace has lots of security tools to make sure anyone underage is listed underage and also so you cast look at the page unless you have been added as a freind. I am only 19 and have no kids but if i was a parent with this problem i would just make my own myspace page and be added as my childs friend so i could see what she was posting, who shes talking to to , and who she adds. All you need to do is make sure to talk to her about online dangers and just watch and make sure shes safe.

My opinion is that MySpace is a great place for ADULTS to meet friends, chat, and even hang out, but it shouldn't become an addiction. \n\nMany kids underaged spend lots of time on MySpace, which many people obsess over as being the most dangerous thing on the web for kids. In fact, there are many security features that protect these kids from people seeing their info, such as private profiles, where only friends can see their profile. Also, many people don't realize that you have to accept for someone to become your friend.\n\nOverall, I think that MySpace can be a good thing, as well as a danger. It depends if you use it well or use it improperly.

Good question. Why don't you go on myspace and e-mail "Tom" (the creator of myspace - everyone's first "friend").\n\nMy opinion is that people should only be allowed to have profiles on myspace if they're 18 or older. That might help take care of the problem.

who marked it private?  And what would be dangerous about the site?  My kid isn't allowed on there anymore.  I'd be interested in finding out how to see some of her friends sites because I hear one girl has some pretty bad stuff on her site (such as announcing shes not a virgin, etc).  I don't think her mother really cares though.  She's 13 and her mom lets her date guys that drive.  My daughter isn't friends with her anymore and says she can't access her myspace thing.

Hi pippy4tao,\n\n360 degrees Yahoo blog!  myspace has alot of kids, freaks & pedophiles.\nThink of something clever that will catch an eye & then tell  people go check  my blog & see what you think, what do you think I can do to improve my blog, interests, hobbies, write reviews on anything & everything. Yahoo team ask questions that you can respond too. Add your friends, family, co-workers every1 & everybody from Yahoo messenger or any messenger for that fact!  And be sure you have the time cause it's consuming sometimes. Good luck blogging! :0)

It's not a bad site, nor did it have any intentions of being bad.  Bad people make it bad and ruined it for everyone else.  For your safety, only add REAL friends.  Do not add anyone you don't know.  Also, don't put anything TOO personal out there.  Don't put any nude photos of yourself.  Those are ways to get sexually assaulted.  Just be careful...\n\nGod Bless.

I am very thankfull for myspace, because before I dated only a couple of loosers and couldent find a decent guy. But now I met the love of my life on myspace. And as far as it interfering with relationships...I would have to say as long as your significant other is honest and trusting, myspace is a fun way to have a better social life in my opinion.

You are absolutely right in telling your kids to be careful.  It is lawful for any prospective employer or college to view anything anybody PUBLISHES online.  Putting stuff on myspace is not the same as putting it in a private journal.  The Internet is not private.\n\n(The following is from the first link I provided):\nWhile doing so may be in violation of MySpace agreements, little is done to eliminate groups dedicated to the slandering of racial minorities, and bullying remains a problem. Many schools and public libraries in the US and the UK have begun to restrict access to MySpace because it has become "such a haven for student gossip and malicious comments"[7]. Some private schools, particularly those with a religious base, have even attempted to ban their pupils from accessing MySpace at home[8].\n\nOn November 7, 2005 only 400 out of 3,000 students of Warren High School in San Antonio, Texas showed up after two male students posted that they were going to bring guns to school. The threat was seen by officials and the students were arrested before anything could happen [9]. Such threats are not uncommon on MySpace. There have been many similar, less-publicized situations involving high-school students making threats that tend to be less serious.\n\n\n\nThe second link talks about some kids that were arrested for something they put on myspace.  It's just another example to maybe share with your kids.\n\n\n\nGood luck!

I personally don't get the point of all these blog kinda sites. I have a 360 just because I was bored. I have myspace for the one reason of finding friends I have lost touch with (I've found three already.) I have a lot of problems with myspace and I hate it, but it has way more features than 360. Good luck.

I think that myspace has some risks, but you just have to be careful. Don't talk with people you don't know. Also be careful about things that are posted on your page. Sometimes people can have enough details on their page to be easily tracked down. Its just like anything else in life....you must use caution. It is very sad to think that myspace could be outlawed because parents don't keep track of what their children are doing on the internet. Hopefully it never comes to that. It has been such a nice thing for me. I have found alot of old friends that I had not spoken to in years. I love myspace.

Yes, you should be concerned. There are a lot of predators who look for their next victim on Myspace.

i have a myspace.  but i wont give my url, becuase i do not add people i dont know as friends.  so it would be pointless!

Well, a lot of people don't accept people that they don't know on myspace.  So maybe they signed up in hopes of finding people from the past they know or so that others may find them and they just haven't had any luck yet.

well that kind defeats the whole purpose of myspace does'nt it?  I seriously doubt that this is possible.  If you want a private web site, build one...

i think everyone should be allowed to keep in contact with their friends.  from 14 year olds to 40 year olds.  obessed: yes.  but that is what keeps some people going, they need something to keep their life going [ex: ipod, friends, pop, etc] some people pick myspace.
