OMG! It's been 18 days since my last blog entry! Now I'm getting RSS feeds from my co-workers' blogs and I don't even know what they're talking about! I gotta hop to it! I spent some time poking around on MySpace.... I've done this before. I'm always interested to know which of my daughter's friends protect their sites and which don't. And from the ones that don't you can read their messages and see who they are in communication with... which often gives you info on your own kids and their friends even when you can't get to their restricted sites directly.... That's how I find out who's going to the concert with whom, for instance! Or Prom. Or AfterProm. Also, you can listen to our own Deborah Worthey's Nathan's music, which is awesome. A talented guy.
I wasn't so impressed with the PPLD teen site. It didn't seem like any teens I know would spend any time there. Mostly publishers are using it for an advertising venue for their new books it seems. Then I registered with Facebook and went all the way. I was inspired to see my co-workers on the PPLD site so I went ahead and did a "quickie" profile and just by listing my high schools and college I have 153 "friends" I could look up! Whoa.
Oh, and BEBO is another social networking site that my younger daughter and her friends use. Just so you know. There are tons of them out there. It's a big world and the kids are hanging out there all over the place. Not great in my opinion, but you can't fight a tsunami.
