the news has provided alot of reasons why it isn't safe for those who provide too much information. Girls lie about their age.... you must be 14 to open up an account, do you actually think that 11 and 12 year olds are not on myspacE? they lie about their age just to get onto myspace and join the trend. and sometimes young girls seek out for attention. There are men out there who are lying about their age and perhaps provide fake pictures claiming that thats who they are. The girl and the older man can start a relationship and the girl thinks she has these feelings like he's the one she needs in her life and will meet him. Other teens provide too much iformation ....where they live, what school they go to, where they work at...and so on... \n\nMyspace comments can cause alot of drama also...i've noticed on my friends myspaces they are like talking about someone who i know, saying  that he's gay and so on... saying rude comments when this person is on their friend list.  Blogs allow kids to vent about whats bothering them... and may say things to hurt other people also.  So....what i am saying is that myspace is a way to gossip.\n\nAnother reason to be against it... it allows us to procastinate... seriously, you'll find kids online when they have homework. So many are obessive over myspace usually just wondering what the latest gossip is.\n\nalso, you're suppose to get approval of your friends before you post their picture on your profile... i don't believe everyone actually does. Alot of photos contain underage drunking and drug use... i think that teens think that's cool and want to get a picture of themselves drinking or smoking, just to look cool. \n\nSurveys ask whats ur full name and usually people will provide their full name.... phone numbers are exchanged.... basically myspace is a place that provides too much information....and the rules are not always followed.\n\ngood luck on ur speech.

I don't really have the attention span to give you 10 reasons, cuz that's almost like an essay to me, but I will do my best....\nIf MYSPACE is a popularity contest then wow I'm glad to be a loser.\n\nThere are a lot of sites that have lost sight of their original purpose and have become twisted into a penis size competition by loner web geeks.\n\nThis Yahoo question/answer point thing is rapidly turning the same way.\nPeople are not asking real questions or giving real answers and in some cases I've seen friends playing for points with each other. One asks a question, the other answers and even though the answer is total crap, he picks his over and over again to boost his points. Like geta hobby much?!\n\nOr the fake pedophile guy who says a bunch of offensive stuff and gets everyone all fired up and upset. Then they bite back and post a whole lot of insults, therefore giving them the attention he wanted in the first place.\n\nActually MYSPACE is starting to look kinda inviting....\n\nWOW!!\nSorry....I guess I wrote an essay after all....hey wait a minute wasn't I suppposed to be talking about MYSPACE?!

Talk about something your are interested in.  Or something you could find out about and feel passionate about e.g. Why donating bone marrow is a good idea (Put Antony Nolan into google and you will find something.); Christians and Conservation (arocha.org); a place I would like to visit (just put in Cambridge or Kenya etc into Google and you will get lots of info.)

MySpace is YourSpace and you can make it whatever you want. I myself use it for keeping in touch with friends. All of em, the good ones the barely ones, the new and the old. A couple of my friends have used it for dating and have had good experiences, yet I also think it has to do with a lot of the concerns about kids being abducted by a "friend" they meet on MySpace. I remember the internet was just starting to get popular when I was in Jr. High and we had just gotten AOL in our house. There was a big scare atthat time of young grils meeting older men in chatrooms and getting abducted. Nothing has really changed, it's jus now instead of Chatrooms it's MySpace. All I can say is, be careful.

I'd suggest looking at the resource below.  You'll find all the background information for MySpace that you could hope for, as well as articles and assistance in creating MySpace layouts.\n\nCareful though, MySpace Layouts can be a pain sometimes.  Good luck!

Why are you working on this today?  Check out something of interest on line and write your speech quickly. Start with a fact that's not generally known.  Good luck

You have to talk about something that everyone wants to talk about.\n\nSimple as that... But at the same time... Not easy!\n\nPlus you have to promote it so that people can find it.

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.

Data, my dear friend. Everybody likes to collect data.\n\nImagine your site becomes big. Seriously big. Myspace kind of big. Suddenly you know you have a million users, but you don't know how many are American and how many are European, Asian, and so on. Wouldn't this be useful to know? You could shape your bandwidth based on time zones, advertise in different languages, and so on.\n\nData can be used to pull all sorts of information about your clients, and the hosting services hope that they will one day be big enough to use it all!

Are you into iPods or other mp3 players?  Talk about DRM and whether or not companies should have the right to restrict what you can do with music that -you- have purchased.\n\nHmm ... or how about net neutrality ... school dress codes ... how about whether game players should buy a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 (if your speech teacher is nice enough to let you talk about something like that =), or whether or not games like 'Bully' or 'GTA' should be permitted ... talk about whether or not certain games (like *wince* dodgeball) should be banned in gym classes ... persuade people to adopt a pet from the pound rather than buying one from a breeder, or speak about whether or not sports like greyhound racing are okay ... persuade people to watch less TV (or heck, persuade 'em that they should all tune in and watch your favorite show) ... if there's a club you're in or a 'cause' in which you're particularly interested, talk about why other people should get involved with it too ...\n\nHmm, well, there are a few off the top of my head ... honestly, my biggest suggestion would be to pick something you're personally interested in - it makes -such- an immense difference, people tend to sound so much more interested (and thus to -be- more interesting!) when they're speaking about something they actually care about.  Good luck to ya =)

You know your campus better than any of us.  What is an issue on your campus? Are people polarized about the war in Iraq? Legalizing marijuana? Selling beer at football games?  Can men be the victims of domestic violence? Was Carlsbad really a government conspiracy to hide the truth about aliens? Anything that you can get people to argue about could be a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Then you take a side, any side, and argue persuasively for that side.   I have my students do their next persuasive paper arguing the reverse side of the issue.   The following websites has dozens of ideas for persuasive topics.  Good luck.

I think the first poster gave a great suggestion.  Here are a few more ideas:  \n\nLet me make your money talk.\n\nTime is money.\n\nMoney is scarce so let me take care of yours.\n\nAnd a few links that may help.  Good luck with your campaign.

What are your interests? \n\nFor example I had musican, adult, political, philisophical, RPGs, and so on because that was what I was interested in. \n\nWhat are the interests of your intended users? \nFor example I had anime sections, console game sections, a section in Spanish and another in Dutch because that was what people who visited my forums were interested in. They came for other topics initially but some stayed around for those special interest forums. \n\nYou want to target topics that will generate interest. Bring people to your forum, but you also want to steer clear of things like religion which will often start fights. Politics can be very volitile as well. \n\ninvisionfree.net offers some really good free forum hosting. I'd recomend them to anybody. Proboards is very user friendly but also really light on security. That only becomes an issue when you try to ban the inevitable person who seems to only find self worth in trashing others.

I suggest the following seminar topics on the computer.\n\n(1) If the discussion is about the usefulness and the nuissances of the computer, the topic, which can suit is:\n"Computer, a boon or bane of the modern world".\nHere bane is used for nuissance.\n\n(2) If the discussion is about the ideal performances, the topic can be:\n"Is Computer taking place of the human brains?"\n\n(3) If the discussion will be merely on the technology, the topic can be:\n"Brainy Computers for the next generations"

Is this a "buddy profile" with the www.mybuddyprofile.com website? If so, just choose from the colour scheme and fill it out.\nIf not, just use some of your favourite colours, have links to things you like, just put stuff there you like and think other people might like to see. Update it frequently. Here is one of my prep friend's profile:\n\n I Know What  You Want \nI  Want To Take You To A Midnight Show Tonight -- If You Can\n  Keep  A  Secret  ;   I've Got A Blanket In The Back Seat  Of  My\n  Mind  //  And A Little Place That Sits  Beneath  The  Sky  ;  She\n  Her  Face  To Speak To Me -- But  No One  Heard  Her Cry\n\n                                    <3<3<3\n\nNew  Kids  On  The  Block Had A Bunch Of Hits\nChinese Food Makes Me Sick -  And  I  Think Its\nFly  When Girls   Stop  By For  The Summer  ;  For\nThe Summer I Like Girls That Wear Abercrombie\nAnd  Fitch  -  I'd  Take  Her  If  I  Had  One    Wish\nBut She's Been Gone Since That Summer... -LFO\n                                \n\nlw.gg.mg.kk.cg.lc.bl.dh.lb&& others\nsummer.      friends<3\n\nYeah Kid, MySpace!! haha chan chan"
