Is anyone else on My Space?

My sister got me hooked on it last year when someone posted her High School reunion photos on their site. It's been nice to find old HS friends and share pics, catch up, etc. I'm even having lunch with an old friend tomorrow after she sent me a "friend request" last week. (I moved back to my hometown 3 years ago and we haven't bumped into each other yet which is weird--it's not that big of a town!)

Also, do you let your kids have any sort of website? If so, what restrictions do you put on it? I know a similiar subject came up last week. I think it was about IM.

DD is really into Bebo and I finally caved into letting her set up a page. It's set to private and she uses my email so all friend requests, comments, etc come through me first. She doesn't even know her own password. I have to log her on when she wants to go online. So far, she doesn't mind. We set it up with the knowledge that I have total veto power.

What do you think?

It took some practice for me, too! I've finally figured out how to do the "blingy" text and all that. Mine's real girly now! LOL!

I'll add you! :o)

I don't allow my kids to have a myspace site. I don't have one, either. But I do on classmates.com.


My kids' computer activity is closely monitored and they don't have computers in their rooms.

No, sorry.

There have been some issues with teachers (young ones) having a myspace account and students finding them. One, someone else wrote something profane on it, then a student saw it, and it was a BIG ordeal.

I'm trying to get tenured, so I'm not willing to put my job on the line because a student found my myspace account and got the word out.
