This is way better than myspace. You can create your own website with as many links as you want. It's bascially a tool for comunication, but it also has all of those networking tools that other site have. They encourage you to write down everything on your mind and create a blog. The site is MindDeposit. http://www.minddeposit.com I found the next best free tool. This is way better than myspace. You can create your own website with as many links as you want.

But as a member of MySpace myself, I think it also serves as a purpose to keep in touch with people you know. So many people are connected through MySpace and it's a easy way to literally "see" how someone is from pictures you can post. The blogs, I think, are fun and interesting to read other people's responses. Students will continue to use MySpace but I think that for college students, Facebook will become more popular. Not only is it safer because you can only have an account if you're a college student, but it is fun to check Facebook every hour to see if a friend has written on your wall.

Just like our internal forums two years ago, the mySpace rage appears to have run its course. From my point of view, the reason is that its popularity was driven not by its capabilities, but rather by the mentality of a social group. Students joined up solely because it was trendy. Once they found out it really wasn't that interesting, they dropped their accounts. A certain number of students will continue to use mySpace indefinitely, but for many students, they are on to the next thing ... whatever that is! The same thing has happened at our school.
