The Sun Herald | 10/22/2006 | mad about myspace: "With an estimated 120 million accounts, the online virtual community 'MySpace' seems to be the place to be. And, if you're a teenager, that is especially true.
'One of the main reasons I use MySpace is to keep in touch with friends from all over,' said Brittany Spears, a student at Bay High. 'It's an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family.'
The site's popularity with teens, however, has been the source of a major backlash.
Several issues in the media, such as controversial message postings and predatory activities, have raised concerns among many parents and adults.
Some parental concerns are understandable, but parental reactions are not uncommon when teenagers are involved in activities not fully understood by adults. For example, there was panic over the advent of television, the rise of jazz, the onslaught of rock 'n' roll and, in the early 1800s, reading novels."
