Video: On MySpace

Web 2.0 and MySpace have changed the way people communicate online.

Fear of MySpace has, in part, to do with the way the media portrays MySpace: as a website predominately used by teenagers who are at the mercy of dangerous online predators.

First, teenagers are smarter online than the media gives them credit for.

Second, 85% of all MySpace user are over age 18. These are potential future members. Third, in my humble opinion, MySpace is one of the best online democratic tools our civilization has ever experienced. Compared to most other Web 2.0 websites [including Facebook], it is mostly uncensored, open, and primarily controlled by the masses. MySpace is a microcosm of our global society.
