Dude, how many wives have you had???


Its a networking tool...
I keep it at arms length distance...
nothing too revealing... nothing too intimate.
I watch who sends me freind requests... there are
plenty of phishers, spamers and other deviants there.

I haven't read this whole thread so I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, I just found out though that one way people do identity theft on Myspace (at least of your Myspace identity) is if you are logged in and click to use a feature and it says something like, "You must be logged in to use this feature, please enter your password," etc...don't do it, it's likely a sham, and if you do do it and then nothing happens, and you click to use the feature and it asks again, it is definitely a sham to steal your info.

You should use firefox. I use myspace, and report those fraudulent pages so that when other firefox users get linked to it, a web forgery warning pops up.

You just need to be smart. I wouldn't write anything on myspace that I wouldn't write on a bathroom wall.

Thanks for the information, I actually don't use Myspace (or any of those social-networking sites) right now, will use Firefox though if I ever do.
