There are safety concerns. How do you really know who is talking to your son or daughter? What about pedaphiles? Indeed, there are some valid concerns. But what’s the difference between myspace and going to the mall? That’s just one thought that I came up with. I am sure some of you have takes on the growing myspace hysteria.
