MYSpace or Yours?

Over the past six years social networks have taken the internet by storm. From sites like Myspace and Facebook, to Twitter and different blog sites, there is something for everyone.


These social sites where put together to create a way to share information with someone close to you, even when you are far away.

Though these site are primarily used for enteratinment and staying connected, there are now many things that users should beware of.

As a user of a social network such as Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter, not only are you searching for your friends and fav celebrities, but people are searching for you, and its not always in a good way.

These days, if you are currently seeking employment, and have posted whats on your mind or tweeted a funny twit pic, you can almost be certain that your future employer has googled you.

Which brings me to my question. Is this Myspace or yours? A social site is meant to be just that social. Will there ever be a site where a person can put there silly thoughts and not have to remain "professional" without it being held against them?

As a child growing up, from home to school, and eventually the work place, one is taught there is a time and a place for everything. There is a time to be professional and a time where you can relax and let your hair down.

Has that time come and gone?
