MySpace-For Teenagers Only

Today everyone is on the internet. Ok, maybe not your great grandmother in Tuscan but most everyone. And the it's not just an email and searching tool anymore but more and more people are using it to meet people or connect with preexisting friends. I'm sure you've heard the warnings; things on te internet never go away, future employers look at your accounts (this I find doubtful, I very much doubt most employers are looking you up on facebook) etc, etc. I'm not going to warn you against things you already know but instead lay a ground work for setting up and enjoying these online forums as an adult.

Don't use MySpace if you're over 20. You have your own space remember? Myspace is a combination of teenagers, people who inexplicably want to acquire as many friends as possible and then gain fame for it (yeah, like that's a good way to start a respectable career) and the occasional 40 year old perv who gets off talking to kids. So you're in your 20's, 30's, 40's or older no MySpace for you. If you're over 35 you probably aren't on MySpace because you don't really get it. Don't worry you shouldn't get it. Who wants a list of 200 "friends: aka people you don't know and have never met. It's weird, yeah, you know it is. While it's a great place to read teenage angst poetry, if you're over 20 it's time to move on ladies.
