Your Space, My Space...
by: Robby Valderrama

     Discovering a myriad of options including live chat, comment zones, and a built-in email system, teens find a 20th century social refuge in myspace.com.

     But as well as these communication options, users can comment on a range of items including pictures and blogs (journals posted by fellow users).

     And besides the blogs, pictures, and chat options, users also have easy access to indie music, entertaining games, and a practical classified section.

     Whether spare time is rare or abundant for you, the beauty of myspace is that you choose the level or your involvement. So go ahead. Choose.

Why are teens joining?
It’s free, fun, and fast. A quick (or extended) log onto myspace.com is the ideal remedy for a long day of school, practice and work.

Is it just another xanga?
No way! Pictures are more prominent, the email system more practical, and the option of a live chat is something xanga.com fails to perfect. 

What are “Friends”?
Anyone who you wish to email, chat, or send comments to. On every user’s site, a comment area is open for all friends to view and contribute to.

Isn’t it a waste of time?
YES. But it is an entertaining one. Inside jokes, funny stories, and  intriguing comment exchanges are often reminisced in day to day life.
