text: why is everyone making a big deal out of myspace.not everyone uses 2 get a "mate".i use it to talk to friends.   do you know every person that is reading it? many people who are quite good at research can take the small innocent bits of information you post publicly on the myspace and figure out quite a dangerous amount about you.   for example, i might be able to figure out your name from the site, even just a first name.  i can then go look at all your friends sites and someone on there will most likely mention their school, likely to be your school too, or at least in your neighborhood.  i can find your picture on your myspace, hang near the school and stalk you and know all kinds of things about you because of your public conversations with your friends that you do not even thikn about other people reading.  in this scenario, did you use it to get a mate?  no.  could you end up endangered by it?  yes, the potential for it is there.  basically though, being a teenager, you already know everything and know beyond a doubt that nothing could ever happen to you, so none of this i have typed will make a difference anyway.
