MySpaced is extremely popular and receives a lot of traffic, but is not for the serious blogger.
The advantages to MySpace include the ability to upload and share video, audio and image files as well as a blog. But blogging is not the main business of MySpace, MySpace’s central focus is social networking.
One of the problems we have with MySpace in terms of blogging, is not many people would want to send their business associates or family to a site that displays the kind of material MySpace users post. MySpace does give you a link to your blog, so you could send your direct link to someone, but if they had to search for your blog it is nearly impossible to find. For example, in order to find work–friendly blogs, we tried to find blogs on cars and dogs; we were given a list of blogs that had more to do with sex than cars or dogs.
If your primary interest is social networking and non–professional blogging, then MySpace will work for you, otherwise try WordPress.
After a quick registration, establish your profile page with background information such as where you’re from, what you look like and where you attend(ed) school. Additional information describes your personality, your likes, dislikes and interests.
You can customize your profile page to reflect your personality with customized skins created by you or others. You can choose to use MySpace’s profile editor that helps you change colors and font or you can input your own HTML or CSS code.
One of the newest additions to MySpace are apps. Apps can include games and surveys, pictures, causes, various online utilities and so much more.
Profiles also include the usuals like photo albums, the ability to send and receive comments upload dozens of photos and add music and videos to your page.
Believe it or not, MySpace values your privacy and it gives you complete control over your profile’s privacy settings. You can make your profile viewable to everyone on MySpace or use your privacy settings, located in the “My Account” tab, to limit who can access your page such as your circle of friends or block individual members. You can also report spamming messages and account abuse.
Users must be at least 14 years old to join MySpace. MySpace will delete profiles of members that have lied about their age to obtain a membership. Additionally they will delete your profile if you are between the ages of 14-17 but represent yourself as 18 or older.
MySpace provides contact information to report suspected underage members and objectionable content. They also have a useful section on online safety tips for MySpace users and tips for parents, which include instructions for parents who want to limit or delete their child's profile.
