    Myspace, Again?

    Myspace is back, new and improved. Now what? Here’s me.

  • I Don’t Get Facebook

    There. I said it. Let the ridicule begin. Another old fogy doesn’t understand social sites. As my niece says, “What ‘ev’.” I started social networking on MySpace. Yeah, I know — I’m a little old for MySpace, regardless of what the experts claim. I signed up to see what my daughters were doing online and…

  • MySpace Without True.com Ads

    I have a MySpace account. As my tagline says, I’m “increasing the average age on MySpace.” I don’t have a lot of MySpace friends, but it’s one more way to watch my kids online.

I thought only college students with active college e-mail accounts could get Facebook accounts. I was wrong. Facebook also supports thousands of corporate networks, including my employer. So now I have a MySpace page and…

  • MySpace? Yup.

    So, I finally got myself a MySpace account. Yeah, I know–at 43 I’m a little older than the target demographic. So what. I’m comfortable with my age. You deal with it. Besides, having a MySpace account allows me to see what my kids are doing (and what’s being done to them). It’s not going to…
