Does anyone have a facebook or a my space? Or if you have older children, do they have one?
I have a facebook, and honestly I must be old because I don't see the attraction there. *shrugs* It's just another way for me to waste time online, kwim???

Anyway, my boys' don't have accounts; they haven't been interested. My oldest has a blog, but that's about it.

I've been thinking of it because it seems to be the only way a lot of kids communicate anymore. I like the internet, and I'm active on a couple message boards, but I don't use it as my primary form of communicating. We are having a two-session forum at my church about teens and sex and teens and the internet, so it's been on my mind. Mostly I think I have a unique opportunity to train my boys appropriately since we homeschool but I'm not naive enough to think they will never run into things.

Anyway, just thought I'd ask for input!

I have a myspace. It's the only way I can get ahold of my cousin. LOL

I dont get on there much, I find it annoying and difficult to navigate around. As many people that use it, you'd think it'd be more user-friendly.

I have a facebook page.

It really can be a time waster, but I find it is a fun way to keep in touch with my nieces up North and others family members and friends.

My kids do not do blogs or facebook or myspace.

I have facebook and that is how I am staying in contact with some of my friends and a cousin/sister.

I have both! I signed up for myspace to keep in touch with my older nieces and nephews and facebook for a friend of mine......turns out most of my nieces and nephews have facebook to.....I would get rid of myspace but a couple of my friends there dont have facebook! My girls can't wait until they are old enough to have facebook.
