Facespace

Myspace and Facebook are creating a whole new generation of computer users. These networking sites have already made a whole online community full of people that can stay in contact or just make friends over the internet. Personally I never got into the whole Myspace craze. Plenty of my friends have got accounts and are on it everyday, but I never really saw the point. I did sign up on facebook as a freshman because it was a good way to get to know people or just find out information about events, but that was back when facebook was only for college students. They've since opened the doors to the public so now it's just another peer network that anyone can join.
There are positives and negatives of this transition. On one hand, they are probably trying to be more like Myspace because of the popularity that has grown out of the site. The creators of myspace recently sold the rights for a butt-load of cash and I can understand that Facebook creators might want to get in on that action. When you get to thinking about the potential dangers of allowing anyone and everyone to have contact with young adults and teenagers then you start to see a negative aspect of these online communities.Anyway, i'll be doing a NeoVox article on these sites in the near future and i'll try to cover most of the issues.
