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.
