Windows Live Spaces Is Alive

Cue the monster....It's Alive! Microsoft, ever the copy cat, has updated and re-released their version of MySpace. Called Windows Live Space (assuming they stop changing the name), it is of course another young person hang out where people with nothing better to do waste a perfectly beautiful day on the Internet doing something that won't improve their life one wit. Ok...was that opinionated? If you have a business that caters to the young, you might want to market yourself here by creating an account and give them something to do while withering away their hours. Windows Live Spaces

News.com Forgets Parents - Called to Action You Deadbeat Parents
Published by Picturesque on at 2:12 PM.
A News.com article discusses how MySpace "blurs line between friends and flack". It discusses how companies use MySpace to market their products and hold discussions with people, including children, to sell their merchandise. So your child makes friends with the Burger King who tells them they need to buy a whopper and they believe their new "friend". My first question is, who's minding the children. No decent parent should let a younger child use the Internet without supervision, much less chat with an unknown claiming to be the king of anything. I just had to comment on this as they assume we are all using the Internet to babysit our children. Such parents do exist I'm sure, but is it the companies fault? Who should be penalized here? Common sense dictates the parents of the children are at fault.
It is obvious to anyone with a brain that these are companies selling their wares. It should also be obvious that not everyone in a chat is honest about who they really are. I'm rambling now. At any rate, businesses can benefit from using MySpace if they are marketing to the under 30 crowd. Articles like this prove it.MySpace blurs line between friends and flacks | CNET News.com
