TODAY, social networking websites such as Myspace, Facebook, and many others are the craze of the internet. Such sites allow people to create an online profile and connect with people all across the globe. It truly is a wonderful concept, for what better way for people to connect and reconnect with friends, old and new? Unfortunately, as it seems with any good thing, people have found a way to manipulate the websites for their own twisted and dastardly deeds. Lately, social networking websites have come under fire because sex predators have flooded them in attempts to lure young boys and girls and feed their perverse addictions. While the companies that run social networking sites do what they can to provide an essentially safe online environment, there is no way they can fence all offenders. With that in mind it is up to people to be responsible users of the websites. Furthermore, it is up to parents to keep a close watch of their children's online activities. As far as I am concerned, social networking sites are of great benefits, especially as it relates to my endeavours in the music industry. Such websites allow me to connect with fans, artists, and other industry decision makers all across the world with a few clicks of a mouse. This makes it possible for me to reach and share my music with far more people than would generally be possible.
