Facebook? Friend or Foe?

OK, if you're on Facebook, then you're popular right? Well, maybe, but maybe not. Depends what popular is actually. In fact, maybe popular means that you have a fan base of people who want to "get to know" you in the bad way. Why do I say that? Well, turns out the MySpace had something like 29,000 registered sex offenders on it. That my friend is not a friendly thing at all. In fact, those are the foes. No matter how you look at it, Facebook is a great place to attract the wrong type of people. If you have kids, then make sure they aren't spending too much time on Facebook and don't let them keep it in their room. It's better to be proactive and strict than the possibility of those nasty predators. Even though Facebook is a social utility for connecting friends, it's also a social utility for those thousands of people looking to connect with niave, attention-seeking adolescents wanting to be popular online.
