MySpace gives people their own little slice of the Internet. Users can contact people, leave comments and share videos, pictures and information.
Some say they can share their information, find others with common interests, or meet new people. Some even customize a MySpace page with myspace music codes in honor of a celebrity or singer.
Many like the idea of having control over an entire Web page, controling over an Internet world of your own. Others enjoy the contact between friends and the MySpace games that can be played on the bulletin boards.

Safe on MySpace
Personal information: Be careful about posting home addresses, phone numbers, work location, weekend plans, etc., on MySpace site.
Financial information: Don't send it via e-mail, no matter who is asking for it.
Online identity: A little falsification is good protection against identity theft. And, on the flip side, don't completely trust other people's online IDs.
Attachments: Always think twice before clicking on an e-mail attachment.
"Widgets": Also be careful about activating any mini-application, for example, myspace music codes created by a social network site member. It could launch an attack against your computer.
Indestructible: Remember that once something is posted on a site, it could remain on the Internet forever.
