Me, MySpace and I

Personally I’m not very internet literate, but after learning all about this entire world out there I did as I’m sure many of us newbies in FTVMS 203 did, and logged onto the internet colossus MySpace…that’s right, I am a MySpace virgin no more…
However, I must admit that I did it in sort of a backwards way. Instead of hopping on and broadcasting all my preferences and other details out to the world and creating this web of connections, I kept sort of anonymous and just searched for people that I already know in the ‘real world’. Is this some sort of sacrilege? I’m really not sure. I felt sort of creepy looking at people’s pages (and how many people I that know have them! I never knew!) But I guess that’s the point right? If you don’t want people looking then you wouldn’t put up a page (a la moi), however out of all the peoples pages that I did find not one of them had ever mentioned having a MySpace account…is this because its now considered the norm? Or is there still a little bit of shame associated with dedicating an entire page to me me me?
