Posted on February 13, 2006
ASSOCIATED PRESS — Feb 13 — "It’s like being at a giant music conference 24 hours a day every day," said Greg McIntosh, 27, guitarist for Ann Arbor-based ‘Myth Society.’ College students can rate their professors and find classmates or alumni. Others play games, view classified ads, send online party invitations or rate the brave on how "hot" they are. Instead of using e-mail and instant messaging, Olszanowski keeps in touch with many friends simply by posting bulletins on her personal MySpace page/profile. Friends can send her a private message or post a public comment, see her photo album or read her blog. CEO, DeWolfe said Myspace.com has worked with WiredSafety to create guidelines and improve practices – dozens of employees now monitor profiles and images 24 hours a day – and encourages parents to talk with their kids about online safety. The site gets as many as 180,000 new members a day and has 54 million users, compared with 24 million for Friendster. FULL ARTICLE @ FOX NEWS
