Tip #1 "Tom" is not your friend. :)
You aren't the only one who has him (he's there by default),
GOOFIEST thing because "Tom" is networked to everyone through SOME friend, "everyone" is in your extended network.
Friendster had this feature first and would tell you how many immediate, second level, etc.. friends were in your network (friend of of friend associations; ie someone is identified as your friend and then sum up all of their unique friends that are not currently identified as your friend).
Friendster never had the "Col. Sanders" figurehead that Myspace does with "Tom".
amen...lotsa youngbloods here don't get it
wait till they have children..lol
thanks for the reality check many here appear oblivious to
So... One should block "Tom".
Before that we panic over "rock and roll," comic books, and the silver screen.
Good point, I monitor all traffic out of my home router. Only possible at "friends" houses.
They could have attacked any of the blog sites, but Rupurt Murdoch is a natural first choice.
If the NEA is on the attack, then the NEA has discovered something that undermines their agenda.
How do you propose to keep your children away from internet porn?
Try 2000 years. Jesus predicated it, you shouldn't be surprised.
"He shouldn't have bought it"
Oh yeah. Ditto on that part of the story Wag
...A website that encourages young people to post personal information about themselves and has been linked to a series of rapes and other crimes by sexual predators is wholly owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which also owns the Fox News Channel...
I admit I don't know much about MySpace... I just saw the Murdoch/FNC tie-in and am calling it to your attention...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
That's what concerns me... our daughter gravitates to friends whose parents are their "buddies" and don't think they need to supervise their little darlings.
Makes parenting very difficult.
Atually:
Castle Hills police said Rinaldini and an 18-year-old man met two Lee High School students after Rinaldini's friend corresponded with a 17-year-old girl on the popular Web site www.Myspace.com.
She invited her 14-year-old friend to skip school and meet the men at a Castle Hills home, where the four drank alcohol and became intoxicated, police said.
The 14-year-old girl, Detective Wayne Davis said, "doesn't know what happened. But there were certain things that indicated that something had happened to her."
Around 4 p.m., the men took the girls back to school where someone noticed they were intoxicated and alerted school authorities, who called police.(more at San Antonio Express-News)
It is definitely Rupert Murdoch's fault that this 17-yr-old exchanged emails with a stranger, and then dragged a 14-yr-old along with her for a rondevue.
True. They said the same thing about AOL a few years back.
MySpace is an excellent replacement for having to spend hours building a website no one will see. Instead you spend a few minutes, and promote it for hours and 100 people will see it. Or, you can put it in your tagline.

WOW! Thanks to your ping, which I thank you for from the bottom of my heart, I have called my daughter to tell her exactly where the calls to her daughter from Canada to CA have originated: this site, "My Space."
I don't understand why we need to defend Murdoch at all. Sure, Fox News isn't as nutty as CNN, but Murdoch knows that is what makes it sucessful. It isn't as if Murdoch has some kind of inner moral beacon guiding him to produce (relatively) unbiased news broadcasts, and FN would go as far left as any of the other networks if there were any indication that such a change would help the bottom line.
Moreover, everything else Fox makes is base, disgusting crap. Let the libs pount on Murdoch, I'll shed no tears.
Hillary's ideas about the village values are not the morals I was referring to. Hillary's village values involved socialized day care and socialized medicine. In Hillary's village they would begin liberal indoctrination from the onset, i.e. homosexual education (sexual diversity).
I just want adults to keep their pants and shirts on when they are in places kids will see them. Keep adult things private and available only to adults so that the public square is mostly harmless to children. If parents only had to worry about the internet, the job would be much easier. But we have to worry about teachers keeping their pants on and their lips zipped. We have to worry about television - even children's programming can be over the top. Gays parading down the street simulating anal sex on "pride" floats with city Mayors leading the way! This is Hillary's amoral village.
Is it just my imagination, or do conservatives invoke the name Rupert Murdoch in the same way liberals invoke the name Karl Rove? I guess that everyone's got to have a Bogeyman.
