Why is myspace became more of a lifestyle than a kill time? There's too many people obsess with that site.

Computers have started to replace life for some people. They can shop, watch TV, date, socialize, and read the newspaper all from the comfort of their keyboard. People no longer recognize that it takes practice to be social. It is a learned behavior. So as they lose the ability to be comfortable in a social setting they isolate more and more in their computer. It is really a scary trend. I have never heard of myspace but I know their are lots of sites that have a full cult following.

i have a myspace and I use it all the time. It is a place for friends, but you just have to be careful about who you accept as a friend and how much information you put about yourself onto it.

I dont like myspace.  i think it is a stupid "hip" trend that everyone is following and makes them feel special.  i bet this time next year when everyone will forget all about myspace, there database will be filled with millions of accounts that arnt kept up anymore.

because they have no imagination, they're like sheep.\n\nthey hear everyone else has a myspace page so they have to have one too or they feel like lepers - when myspace isn't fashionable anymore it'll move onto something else that'll end up equally as banal.

Its simply popular because it's given ordinary people tools that they want to keep in touch with other people.\n\nAnything innovative that helps people communicate more effectivly is going to become huge very fast.  This is the case for MySpace as well.

Myspace is the friendster for the new millennium.

I believe that Myspace has a more liberal touch to it. Something about the combination of things you can do (such as blog, IM, message, comment, etc.)tha keep people coming back. Just try it and find out.

It's not MYSPACE that is dangerous.  It's the people who post too much information for everyone to read.  At the same time, most that information can be found in a phone book.  The thing about posting it on MYSPACE is a criminal can look at many people in a short amount of time and find their weaknesses...like "my mom and dad grounded me from the phone cuz i wasted all my minutes...i hate them...wish i could run away."  then the predator is like hmmm, i could lure this one away...easy.  ETC.  Just when you post on there, limit who can see what.

because it is the way to keep in contact with others.  it isn't just a "fad"  those who said it is a fad, have some other kind of what to contact people on the internet [tagworld, livejournal, xanga, friendster, etc.]  just because it is more wider, it is having more abuse.  as for popular for teens, SO not true, so many adults are getting myspace and a lot of college aged adults are getting it too.  it is NOT only teens.  people who have never had a myspace account, really have no room to talk.  if anything, i would think xanga and livejournal would be more dangerous, because i use my xanga like a diary, telling about stuff i did during the day [including places]  only three people from my school know ihave a xanga, i don't tell many people about it, because it is my personal diary.  well i think i am done ranting here...

Myspace is a site that people can make friends, get in touch with old ones, put up classified ads, advertise your music, etc. Its a fun way to make friends. Some people blame myspace for the recent deaths on young girls. But I say that myspace isnt to blame. Some of these girls are 13-14 and they lie and say they are 18. They also put up slutty pics of themselves. They shouldnt be asking for it. So, yeah....create an account and have fun with it. Its free. I have one and so does about 40,000+ people.

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.

I am very much anti-myspace.  I think it is a complete waste of time, and really just a way to advertise yourself and make new pseudo-friends.  I also agree that it is potentially dangerous hunting grounds for online predators, but the site doesn't allow anybody who claims to be under 16 to post a profile.  Too many of my peers use myspace constantly.  Also, a note to all you parents of teens out there, if you want to find out if your kid is misbehaving, look no further than there myspace profile.  Despite anybody being able to view their profile, many of my classmates post pictures of themselves with booze, scantily clad girlfriends, etc.

Myspace. Most of the people I know are on there.

I find that myspace is a great way to keep in touch with people I don't see often. I can look at pics of them and their kids, read their blogs, etc.  I'm certainly not 12, a slut, or a person with no life, but I think myspace is useful and fun.  It's addicting though, you'll want to log in every day!

I don't think that myspace is the problem. The problem comes in when people use myspace for the wrong reasons. Most people use it to keep in touch with their friends, or to make new friends. People also use it to promote bands and comedy acts, etc. Perhaps what should be done is some sort of screening against sexual predators, as well as screening for underage users. I see lots of youngsters on there who add a few years onto their real age in order to sign up at myspace. Also, parents need to know what their kids are up to online, and kids need to be taught about what to do and not do, and what to say and not say while online. Myspace isn't the only site that predators use. If you watch any Dateline "To Catch A Predator" news reports, you'll see that chatrooms from all over the place are used, even strictly teen chatrooms. I think that if strict screening was done *some* of these crimes could be wiped out.\n\nSo..to sum it all up....it's not the site that is causing the problem. Some of the users are there for the wrong reasons.
