Social Networking on Myspace and Friendster
Overview
If you haven't yet heard of Myspace or Friendster, you might be lagging behind in the ever-evolving world of online communication. Young adults, particularly teens and college students, are embracing the internet to connect in ways we couldn't have imagined just a few years ago.
Social networking is thriving as young people use platforms like Myspace and Friendster to chat, post comments, share photos, and update their friends about the latest happenings. While it's mostly positive, there are some concerns to consider.
How Does It Work?
The concept of Myspace was created as a free online bulletin board, not just for teens, but for anyone looking to network and make friends. Users create an account and share as much or as little information about themselves as they want. Friends can then leave comments and engage, turning it into a dynamic hub of social interaction. Teens are quick to find and share the latest trends and information.
Impact on Communication
In the past, only the tech-savvy teens had personal web pages. Now, with easy-to-use tools, any young person can set up a site, rapidly expanding connections and networks.
Concerns and Challenges
The sharing nature of these sites presents both positive and negative aspects. Recently, schools and parents have grown concerned about the content on some Myspace pages. Teens may post personal or hurtful information publicly, leading to quick spread of negativity. Some schools have even warned students of expulsion if they don't clean up their sites. Parents, often new to this technology, are sometimes shocked by the content their kids post.
This situation underscores the importance of parents being engaged and aware of their children's online activities. It's crucial not to hand over internet access and then ignore how it's being used.
Another issue is events, like parties, being advertised online. What starts as a simple invitation can quickly spread, leading to overcrowded gatherings. Tragically, some of these events have ended in violence due to unmanageable crowds.
The Future of Social Networking
These platforms are not disappearing anytime soon. With Myspace boasting over 60 million users and being acquired by a major corporation, the potential for advertising revenue is vast. Social networking will continue to be influential for years to come, highlighting the need for careful navigation and communication between parents and teens.
