Shanda Edstrom can't stop herself. Every day — pretty much no matter where she is — she's just gotta go to MySpace.
Her friends are there. Her former high school classmates hang out there. Heck, these days it seems like every teen and twentysomething in the USA is there.
"I'm on it every day for like two hours at a minimum," says Edstrom, 18, of Clackamas, Ore., who works at a Kinko's in Portland. "It's just crazy."
Forget the mall. Forget the movies. Forget school. Forget even AOL. If you're a teen in America today, the place to be is the social networking site MySpace, which has virtually exploded in the past few months.
