MySpace is random entertainment. The only real people are colleagues from work or other parents checking it out... "Friends" aren't really anybody you know and 99% of the many friend requests I receive are really fake profiles trying to get me to go to another website to see or meet them... The idea of MySpace is cool but the reality isn't. I'm in my 30s and when I looked up my large public high school on MySpace to find friends and search for anyone listed from my graduating class of 800 people or anyone who is in their 30s or 40s (a 10-year span!) NOBODY other than a fake profile came up in the results. I recently visited Classmates after a long time away because I got an email about an upcoming reunion. While it wasn't as flashy I ended up caring more about it listing real people I know by their real names from my schools, college and work. I searched for a span of a few years and found more than 1,000 people and knew many of them. It may not be as flashy but for me it was a lot more useful. When I visited last week I noticed that as a free member now I can see photos and profile information I couldn't see before so this must have changed for the better. They had some people mapping and other features I didn't check out yet but it looks like there is more at Classmates then there was before... I use both MySpace and Classmates, but in different ways.

I joined classmates six years ago, used it for about six months to find old friends and didn't renew my membership. I wonder how some of these sites that continue to charge a fee for their use stay in business. The scary one I recently found was myyearbook.com. In my high school, the only two members over 18 were myself (36) and a woman who is 50, who may be there to monitor her kids. :) My question is: Why are so many of these sites filled with sex? I guess that I do and do not understand it all at the same time. I'd be horrified if my daughter were on myyearbook.com. (Protective parent mode kicking in again.) Enough ranting for now . . . Thanks for the post! Steve,
