I'm fascinated by it as a cultural meme, with all the attention that's been given to it in the news lately. Something else else that's the source of so many parents' nightmares -- if you give credence to the mass media -- has to have interesting twists to it.
(I see it as a matter of parents being lax and unattentive enough to imagine that the Net could be the new electronic "babysitter," supplementing the TV, and of course that's irresponsible. Yet it's far easier to blithely blame such a venue as MySpace.)
So, with one member here having
begun a new Legion discussion group on MySpace, I've bit on the cultural bait and
set up an account .
It seems nearly everyone there is a teenager or 20something. (Everyone's claimed age is displayed.) But a few of us who are older are around for seasoning ... and two have offered to be listed as "friends" already, in two days!
The discussions on several of my interests are intriguing, and after the seven-day new-member anti-spam waiting period, I look forward to posting in some of the forums. They bear less computing overhead than Yahoo! Groups. (With fewer features, though, such as a lack of file or photo storage.)
Those here who've also signed up, what are your MySpace direct links?
