The Case for MySpace!

There is no doubt that myspace.com growing popularity has caught up with people everywhere, especially students. It doesn't seem like the age limit to exclude younger audience is working as some of my middle school students with ages between 10 and 13, tell me they have their own sites there. School administrators and parents have not succeeded to entice away students with their frightening stories of abduction/kidnapping and murder for those who have been going there. It would therefore be a sad mistake for both parents and teachers to overlook this growing popularity and importance of MySpace. It is for this reason that I invite you and your friends to share your experience using MySpace with us by answering the following questions and adding any other thoughts you may have with our audience. Thanks for sharing! and now here you are with the questions:


  • How and when did you come to know about myspace.com?
  • What impressed you on your first visit?
  • What has been the strongest pull for you to go to your space?
  • How many times a day do you visit there?
  • How many friends do you have?
  • How many of these do you know personally?
  • Do you have any friends out of state?
  • Any friends out of the country?
  • How many are you able to talk or chat with on a visit/in a day?
  • On the average, how long do you spend on a visit?
  • What do you normally do when you visit your site?
  • What is the motivation for having so many friends?
  • How do you balance your time at myspace.com with school and home work?
  • How do you feel after every visit?
When you are done posting your responses. I want you to invite your other friends to this site for them to also share their experience using myspace.com. Thanks in advance!
