Ah Brandon Hardesty made a little PSA I enjoyed;

Ah funny stuff.

But seriously, it's an interesting, and unfortunate, topic. The site and the PSAs are geared more towards Text messages, but also touches on social networking.

I've never really thought that myspace, facebook (and yes the whole 'texting' scene) and the like were appropriate avenues for young people to post profiles or 'network'... It's not that it's a bad concept, keeping up with friends, family, meeting new people. But social networking - from IMing to Twitter accounts, to TXTing - has become a cesspool. Parents and others responsible for young people really need to be as tech-savvy as they can. If nothing else you can relate to your kids better in the age of blu-rays and RAMS and computer-boxes.

Ah, I had a whole thing written up about it, but Long story short; there's a right way and a wrong way to be 'connected' for everyone. Hate to see anyone, especially kids, put themselves in a bad spot. Who wants dirty messages on their myspace page or constant txts anyway?
