I have, in the past, talked of my distaste for myspace, particularly when it involves the kids at the library. I'd feel so much better if it was disallowed in our library, for the sake of these kids who really don't know who they are talking to.
However, I have a myspace account. I signed up originally with the intent of understanding what kinds were doing. If I saw something they were at, I could recognize it and determine whether it was in some way a threat to them. Since I signed up, though, its given me a chance to run across people from high school and former coworkers.
Myspace is like a car. If used responsibly, it is a wonderful tool. If used badly, chaos will come. Well, I have my driver's licence, but these kids around me (at this very moment, 7 out of 7 patrons, all high school age or less using it) do not have their licence and its only a matter of time before they run off the road.
I'm not sure if I want to put a link to my profile up...I'll think about it.

I have a myspace account, but I don't use it for anything. So there's no point in posting it, is there?
EDIT: And now I've deleted it, so there's even less point. But I didn't like MySpace. I spent a little time in the chat room and it seemed to be filled with people sixteen years of age or less. Maybe codgers like me don't use the chat rooms there all that much, but after seeing Dateline do a story on this for like the twelth time, I found it way too creepy for me to be there.
