What are your views on MySpace and other networking sites?

die down? Sorry to disappoint anyone but it doesn't seem like it.A survey by Nielson Netratings show that social networking sites grow 47% each year..reaching 45% of the total web users. Now that's a pretty big stat to support the craze of social networking. Don't you think so? {the survey is of May,2006}

I think all these websites are getting pretty annoying. It's like I'm invited to join a new one every week. It starts getting on my nerves. So now I have a limit. I'm only signed up for like 5 or 6. And I'm not planning on joining anymore. I'm sticking with the ones I got now. I think the social networking craze will eventually die down but not anytime soon or in the near future. And there will definitely be hundreds more of sites for drag us in. I think that the sites have done really all they can with protecting and preventing child molesters and harboring rapists. I mean I think it's the jobs of parents to teach their children how to be safe while on the internet. To always be thinking and aware of things.

i don't think it will die anytime soon since many business use those type of sites to make money.

I'm somewhat new at MySpace, and haven't joined any others yet. It's been helpful for me as part of a writing group from Helium, where we read and give feedback to each others articles, as a way that people can improve their articles, earn a little more from Helium, by having more people read our articles. I still find MySpace very layered and somewhat complex to understand all of it. I think social networking will stick around for quite some time, might even become more popular. I'm not sure but I thought I read that MySpace did recently turn in info to authorities regarding child molesters. In some ways I think they have taken some steps, because you don't have to have your profile or your privacy settings on Public, where everyone can see them, but can set them on private, or other restrictions. But they can't control how each individual might set those profile or privacy settings, which means the Parents also have to take an active part, in keeping their kids as safe online as possible.

They're pretty much a thing of the moment if you ask me, a lot of similar sites have been around for about 7 or more years already but just since a couple of years they became really popular, but slowly I can foresee it'll die down in the future to be replaced by something else again.
