I Heart MySpace...

I never thought that I would actually come back to this blag after class, but as I am still lurking out there on my bloglines, I should do my duty and comment on life as I know it.

First, about MySpace. I love it. I have an account and keep track of my friends and favorite bands, actors and even events through it. I realize that EVERYTHING can be used to hurt our innocents out there, but that doesnt mean that we react by cutting off access. By treating it as the unknown and by secreting it out there, we allow predators to have further access/anonymity. It also makes it that more delectable for youngsters. I say set up a working relationship with "Tom" and have certain IP addresses that are verified as being linked with predator actions be monitored. In a world where you can literaly be photographed a bigillion times a day, who cares more about privacy then safety? If we killed the MySpace in libraries it would evoke yet another "why go?" reaction, dont ya think? We are not just about books anymore, we are about becoming a third space that has the bonus of having FREE ACCESS to knowledge. We have the edge here, and we are giving it away in reactionary actions. Just my humble opinion.
