Do you have a myspace page?

A young dancer complimented me and asked if I had a myspace page. I don't. Do you? I'm thinking the majority of people with myspace pages are probably in their teens or twenties even though I've rarely even visited the site. What's your opinion on it? I read or heard somewhere instead of asking for phone numbers, some young people ask for the address of your myspace page or something like that. I believe the dancer I was talking to was just being friendly before she asked for dances.

The people who have one are either young, or they need to let their employer, or prospective employer, that they are computer savvy. Some people use their myspace, or friendster, or other page, as their primary means of social networking.

I used to be among my brethern (people who shared my thought on just about every issue) at a website called PTM, but the site owner pulled the plug on that site and this site is close to people I think like. Since myspace, and similar pages, encourage you to use your real name and place of residence, it's the type of site where you should feel comfortable-unless you're like me and prefer to remain secure behind a monniker.

I don't, because I would rather just be anonymous. I do realize I might need one at some point, though.

Yes, I do, at the behest of my kids. Nothing much to it, but another way to share photographs and normal family BS.

Facebook yes.
Personal website (with my real name) yes. (Not much up there yet. Just directions to my house, where I evacuate for hurricanes, and other useful stuff for friends.)
MySpace no. That's for the teeny-bopper crowd.

i agree with Evilcyn...it is a great communication tool..I also like TUSCL-Bro keep up with my daughter on it. I do not think it is solely for young people, I am a bit older and still have one.

I'll have to check it out a bit more sometime. I'm a bit mixed about what I can or shouldn't post online. I would like to post fun things and personal information but I certainly don't want that to affect current or possibly future employment so I'm cautious and don't post anything too personal.

Yes I have Myspace and a seldom used facebook. It's easy to have a semi-anonymous myspace page, many dancers have a dancer page. Easy to communicate without giving out personal email. Although you can do the same with various email services.

I heard this morning or rather Tuesday morning on CNBC that 1 in 4 Americans use myspace. That's a lot of people. I believe they said myspace had over 120 million users and was the number one social networking site. Maybe I spend too much time watching videos at youtube. I divide my time between financial blog sites, news sites, this site, youtube, and sometimes on abovetopsecret but that's mainly for entertainment. That's when I'm not surfing the net, watching tv/or a movie, or visiting relatives, etc.

So far myspace remains mystery space for me at least.
