MySpace...Revealing Your Secrets

No, I have not learned any secrets about my friends and family from myspace. I think I do understand how these people could be so foolish as to give away their secrets. I once knew a woman who was cheating on her husband. For private reasons of her own, she would not file for a divorce. I think this explains why she charged a motel bill for time spent with her lover on the credit card she shared with her husband. Of course, he noticed the charge and her secret came out. Deep down, my friend wanted her husband to find out about the affair and solve her problem with being unable to file for divorce. She hoped her husband would file for it. He fooled her, though! He forgave her and they reconciled. So, how can people give away their secrets on myspace? Maybe that's what they want, really.

Just becuase you attend collage and attain a degree does not mean you are smart. It just mean you had money to put your self through and you kept at it. I know so many who have degrees and I know more than they do, and they have the audacity to act superior becuase of it. Wow. Then they make horific fouxpauxs that I just giggle over for years after, becuase they were sooooo wrong and soooo loud about it. A smart person is one who listens without talking..this is hard to do in this time and age of endless nonsese chatter. No wonder we have so many out there.

That's quite good info, for parents indeed!! It is really a good advice to keep your profiles private, only to be viewed by friends, but if someone accepts an anonymous friend request and he turns out to be his parent, then what an he do? So its always unsafe to do this.

i havent myself, but a friend of mine had been looking for her ex husband who was way behind on child support, and thats where she found him.

well myspace is like the latest gossip newspaper in my school, we check out each others bulletiens, names, comments, pic. 2 get the latest scoop, whosz crushin on who or whos datin who but i found out a few secrets on myspace especially on those polls you repost

When people want their parents or their loved ones to find out what they are hiding, these are subconcious or consious ways of them asking for help to bring out the secret. This is a way out which is sometimes much easier than a face to face confrontion or meeting. It hsa both its goods points as the loved ones finally find out what has been troubling them and thebad part is they are often the last to know.

yes, i have seen such stuff, this is according to me very kiddish. if that is a secret then why to reveal and if you are revealing then how come it is a secret. even i think some people do this for publicity. they try to show how coll they are or things like that. but i think if you are cool or smart then that will show by itself. you dnt need to shout it loud man.

I haven't learned anything about my friends or family thru MySpace. There is something else though called LiveJournal. I read about people on there. I also found out my ex was married before she even told her parents by looking at her Yahoo profile. Are these people totally dumb and stupid? Well, my ex is in my opinion hee hee. It's called the World Wide Web. So anyone with a computer can see it unless you make it private, even then some hackers get in.

I also would like to add on more community name which is getting popular day by day and that is orkut.com and there also our scrapbooks and photos are not hidden from the rest of the world.

Well I have a myspace, and have it set to private because I have pic's of my boys on their and I don't want to invite any wierdo's to my page. I have learned alot about my friends from thier pages though. The pictures they post and the comments they make never cease to amaze me. SOme people have surprised me for the better, others make me wonder, SO WHO are you? are you this person you portray on myspace, or are you the person I see at church every sunday? It's amazign what people will post there,and I have heard of employers going to these sites to check out a future employee, to see if they are really the kidn of person they want to hire. SO these sites could be hurting people alot more than they know!

I don't know what the heck people are thinking when they post secrets in common space. Maybe they don't think..lol My sisters fiance's daughter refuses to speak to him and her mother is trying to demand for more child support until she finishes college. My niece said his daughter was on myspace. So my sister created an account and looked at her page. It told all about how her and her mother were trying to get money from her dad. How she isn't really even going to go to school, that she would enroll for proof but not really attend. She was going to cancel all her classes before even starting. Well end result, he won't be paying for fake college classes. And they found out she was drinking and smoking pot. Now she's going to counseling instead of classes..lol

fortunately non of my frnds or family members r registered on myspace... wel anyways neither m i registered on the site... so no one can find my secrets... well it seriously sounds stupid that people hide from family or frnds and then put it on public display... that is seriously dumb...

I found out that a good friend I had through school is a swinger. He posted all sorts of pictures and stories about his escapades on MySpace. I don't really have any contact with him anymore, but he's a professional engineer and I could imagine that employers finding his page might get a real eye-opening. I have a MySpace page, but only to keep track of what my step kids are up to. They don't know much about it yet, but I imagine they will in the future if it stays as popular as it is now.

I'm so glad that Myspace now has the option to MAKE PROFILES PRIVATE. I don't understand why people who wants to keep things secretive don't use this option.

think myspace is a good way to keep in touch with friends. I move alot due to the military so I have friends in VA,HI, GA, IL, etc and it's hard to make new friends let alone KIT with the old ones. So to me myspace is only as good as you make it :)It has to be used responsibly and the teens are being naive when it comes to trusting people they don't really know. if your a young teen it's suppose to be set to private and even tough I'm almost 20 I still have mine set to privite b/c when I first moved here creepy guys kept mailing me stuff like "let's hang out, your hot, can we meet?" but as the user you have to decide what you do! I think it's unfair the media only blames myspace.... where were the parents, how come the teens decided to meet people they've never met before and not be safe about it. If you ever met a person for the first time, I'd go with a group and in a public place and tell someone when your leaving and coming back and take your cell (if you have one)!Parents need to teach their children to be safe when dealing with online friends b/c it could happen on ANY network, not just Myspace. I have had no problems with Myspace but some people add friends like a contest to see who has more. I'm not ashamed to say I prob have the least friends on myspace then my friends but I KNOW every single friend on my list and soem people add friends b/c their friends have them as a friend which is how most of the girls on Dateline got sucked in..... they asked the guy a few questions but then quickly let him on their friends list :(

hehe oh well big deal!

your friends are idiots

No secrets on my family, but found out a few scary things about some friends. One guy I used to run into at a bar every now and again, I found out had spent 7 years in prison for a drunken assault that nearly killed the guy. Scary part, I NEVER once saw this guy sober..... Found out a woman I dated 3 years ago, who said she'd never had kids, had given up 3 for adoption as fast as they popped out cause she had NO clue who the daddies were, and 6 months after we split up, posted in her blog about how a guy she dated after me gave her herpes. It was so damn funny, because it was posted for me, SHE emailed me to let me know that. It was this big drama-laden "I wish we had never split up......if you would only take me back......" Funny thing was, I guess a LOT of guys she had dated since did not know, until they saw it on the internet. I know 3 people that got outed to their family on MySpace; 2 out of 3 of their families were pretty sure, but....... So, yes, I would say some people just got no damn sense when it comes to profiles and blogging in general. I rarely ever post to my blog(s), and when I do it's generally just a "Who's going to karaoke this weekend?", or blowing off steam about one thing or another.

I think my myspace page is a lil open too. It states there that I'm BI which is true. I think some of my cousins and few friends knew about it through myspace, haha! Silly me, I don't care if they knew...
