MySpace/Social Networking

Oh boy, the wonderful MySpace scene! At first, it seemed like a great place to talk with your friends that are away at a 4 year college, leave comments to everyone giving them a smile for the day, and just being able to check on the ones you really cared about. But in reality, it was just building up to be the biggest soap opera on the Internet! I used to have an account, and I still do somewhere on there because when the drama began bubbling and people wanted to start fussing and running their mouth about what was on this ones page or that ones page, I just completely stopped trying to use it for communication purposes. I find that old school email works just great! As for the social networking aspect of it, I feel that it is great for people that want to communicate online fast and effectively but at the same time everyone can read what you post (unless you send it as a message) and sometimes it seems to me that keeping your personals away from anything public keeps you the farthest away from trouble. Myspace=Trouble in my experiences, perhaps it would be better if we didn't live in such a small no body town where everyone knew everyone within a 20 mile radius...or maybe it was just a bad experience for me!
