I think I read somewhere that 40% of Internet use revolves around MySpace. (If anyone knows where i may have read this, please add the reference. Thanks!) When I first saw my next door neighbor posting pictures of herself and her friends on it, I was a little freaked out. What about safety?! I wondered. However, the sites really are amazing. Anyone or entitiy can create a site–take a look at this article a co-worker e-mailed me about how the Marine Corps is using the site:

Incredible! And they are reaching kids they want to recruit! Think about what we as librarians might be able to do on MySpace…
