MySpace will now be informing people of "amber alerts" .....

Tweet

Looking around ... as is normal for me these days ... on www.cnn.com to see if there is any good news today, I found an article about MySpace saying they will notify people about missing kids in their areas. They are also going to now require a working email address to be verified in order for a new account to be opened. They are also claiming to have a new tool that will prevent any member who is under 18 from being contacted by adults, and vice vera. And ... they claim to be developing a program to allow parents to be notified about their childs profile information ... Any one have any comments on this?I am a parent, but do not use MySpace ... nor do my children. In fact my children (oldest is 8) do not access the internet at all alone yet. I am interested in seeing what other people think, particuarlly parents, about these changes.
