"Meet my 5,000 New Best Pals"
Brittnie Sarnes has so many friends just through MySpace. She seems so popular from the outside by getting and receiving these friend requests every day. She is so involved with this MySpace account, she's starting to become obsessed. What she doesn't realize how these random people are asking to be her friend and the fact that she doesn't know who they are can be a bad thing. I, myself used to have a MySpace account and have a facebook account now, which is the same as a MySpace. You should never accept a friend request from someone that you have absolutely no idea who they are. These people could be stalkers or people that may get to the point where they are obsessed. I'm not trying to scare anyone but you have to protect yourself because having one of these facebooks or myspace's puts your name out there and anyone who has access to internet can see you, your pictures, maybe where you live, and your friends. Someone could get hurt or even you could. Just try to be careful what you do, what you write, and who your friends are on facebook and/or myspace.

I totally agree with you. I used to think that Facebook was safer than MySpace because you had to have a network that was usually a school or university. Now you can just be in the Philadelphia network so anyone can have a Facebook. It is a good thing to be selective about who your friends are because not everyone has good intentions.
I agree with you, my sister is just like the girl in the essay, constantly checking her myspace and accept anyone who wants to be her friend. I myself have a myspace and a facebook, but I rarely accept people who dont have atleast three mutual friends with me, because you never know who that person could be or what they are capable of.
