Myspace

I have been using myspace for over a year now and a good majority of my friends have a myspace profile also. My own profile background is pink with different color hearts, I have my likes and dislikes on there, and mine and my boyfriend's song. If anyone were to look at my profile, they would learn a lot about what I like, but I have no real personal information on there. A lot of the guys and girls have real sexual pictures on their profiles in attempt to get attention from the oppostite sex. You can learn a lot about a person by the way they have their myspace set up. Such as if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, what they look like, what kind of movies, music, and tv shows they like. Most of the girls profiles that I have looked at have hearts, or bright colors, pocka dots, stripes, beach scenes, and such in the background. They usually also have some kind of love song, whether it be R&B, pop, or country. Where as the guys usually have a rapper, a professional basketball player, or a girl in there background. The guys usually have a rap song on their page. None of the pages I looked at really gave out too much personal information, such as a phone number or address or anything of the sort. However, a lot of the girls tend to lie about their age.
Myspace in generally a way for people to keep in touch with one another in a more unique way then talking on the phone or e-mail. You can make your myspaces very personal, to let everyone know who you are. Myspace is definately a representation of who people are. However, all this can sometimes create problems. Many people will post things on myspace they wouldn't dare say outloud or to someone's face, however the older and more mature someone gets the less likely that is to happen. As long as people are careful about what they are posting on there, I think myspace is a fun way to be yourself and have fun with your friends.
