I have a Myspace. Is that bad? |
|
Talking to dad today, who has read a lot of bad things about Myspace.
Is it bad to have one? I just use mine for blogging. I don't have my real name or my location. I have a picture of myself up on there, though. (Friend did it.)

about all those stupid idiots of people that put their real names, locations and stuff up on Myspace, met some crazy old dude, and got almost raped.

8. I think that the media attention on Myspace |
|
has been overblown. The good might outweigh the bad, but the focus is on the bad right now, so it makes the whole place seem bad.

it isn't the tool that's bad, it's the moran holding it.
The mee-dya jumped all over MySpace because they need a villain. Five years ago or so, it was the same thing with AOL.
The only bad part is you haven't added me. :cry:

10. You sound like you have amazing good sense. |
|
Just don't put too many revealing details on there, i.e school name, friend's names, etctera, and you should be fine. You might wanna sub out the pic for something else meaningful to you.
The problem isn't with MySpace, the problem is with pervs who use MySpace to stalk people -- thus, the need for caution. And with people who are too unsuspecting and meet up with people they barely know.

15. It's bad for stupid, naive kids who believe the lies of creepy people |
|
You don't fall into that category, so for you - it's ok. ;-) You are wise enough to not fall for sicko predators. That's the scary part of that place.

and no, it's not bad to have one unless you decide to randomly meet people in person by yourself maybe.
Anyway, here's mine: www.myspace.com/gloriajsmith
add me as your friend!

It's a good way to meet and talk to people. And it sounds like you are being careful - not giving out information that could get you hurt.
Your Dad just wants to know you're safe. That's a good thang. Just assure him you are careful and aware of any potential dangers.
