My Space Craze

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…
