Thing # 18

I'm already a MySpace user, and have been since 2005. I enjoy using this site because I can keep in touch with distant family and friends that I don't see or talk to everyday. Educators should know about these social networking sites because it's a great way to keep in touch over distance. Both websites are conveniently accessed and user-friendly. Even my grandmother has a MySpace account! I prefer Myspace over Facebook, because Facebook isn't open accessed. You have a limited search criteria (school, etc.) I can see how a high-school community might use these, but it would need to be regulated to keep them in line.
