MY Space!!
To follow on from 'Andrews' post regarding the addictive nature of My Space..
I wouldn't yet say that I am a My Space 'addict' at this stage as I'm not totally obsessed with the thing yet. However since getting my profile up off the ground since Monday and spending quite a bit of time setting up all the nifty features etc, I can see how my friend ends up staying up til the rather early hours of the morning playing on the site. A quite a few of my friends are REALLY into My Space and after months of just ignoring it and thinking it wasn't really my thing - including during the time of the lecture regarding blogs etc - I finally loaded everything on to my profile! Now I guess along with the other billion people, it is my thing in a way?
I find it very interesting though that some people get SO invloved that they think celebrities etc do to! I know one girl who supposedly got a My Space message from one of the girls on E! channel's Playboy Mansion and she actually believes that it is in fact the girl from the show looking at her profile etc - crazy!
The reason I am posting a blog about this is that today i got a message from a little brother of a friend of mine that I have known for years (since we were about six years old) and haven't seen since about 1998. I think it is crazy that something so simple like a site such as My Space could get people back in touch after such a long time, perhaps longer!
I have mixed views on this. I do have my suspicions about the security/privacy of some of these things but perhaps getting in touch with people from your past makes that risk that much more worth it? Depends who it is contacting you I suppose!
I have posted up the URL of my profile, but not because I want everyone to browse around it necessarily. I don't think I have put anything on there that could ruin my chances of future employment or anything of the like.. Have I?!!
