You make a number of excellent points. I do think that sites like MySpace and Facebook will continue to play an important role in the lives of the majority of their users for many years to come, in both good and bad ways as you mention. It's up to each individual to decide how much they want to "filter" what they present of their lives to others. Hi Joanna - thanks for commenting!

Suffering from a severe addiction to both sites, I can share the good and the bad. The best part of both sights: you can find out what anybody is doing and what's going on in their life. The worst part: they can do the same thing with you. I have reconnected with many people from my past and both sights help you keep in touch better then if you had to actually call and talk to people. I keep in better touch with my own sister by having myspace considering we have such different schedules and are a thousand miles apart! At the same time though, I was browsing my former quasi step-sister's myspace and realized her mom was on there. Checked out her profile, and guess who stole a picture from my myspace of my cat sniffing around a keg at a party we had? Kinda creepy, huh? Even potential employers are getting smart to using these popular sites to their advantage, I've done it myself. As part of an internship that requires a panel interview in front of current interns, I've done my homework. Everytime we got an applicant I checked their myspace and facebook profiles. Lots of drinking pictures and comments about being hungover at work? We don't want you. I could go on and on about these sites, but as most people will tell you, you gotta decide for yourself how you feel about them! Just wanted to say I love the facebook/myspace blog.
