Kids and Social Networking

I just came across this blog post about the social network “MySpace”.  Writer Janet Kornblum from USA Today discusses Larry Rosen’s book:  “Me, MySpace and I: Parenting and the Net Generation”.  I like his approach a lot. 

I happen to be a parent who believes there are many more positives to social networking,  than negatives.  There is a lot of bad press about kids meeting predators online which leads many people to conclude there are large numbers of teens and preteens  interacting with dangerous people.  Rosen’s book offers a perspective that can alleviate a lot of anxiety around sites like “MySpace” and “FaceBook.”
