Okay... I know the name is corny... but my son, who's 15, lives on myspace.com.... He has a cool page... I must admit... nice background graphics, things floating all over the place.. and cool music playing... He has 1,000 friends... I do worry sometimes about some of the things I've come across on his page but my mom worried about me too... The computer is in a common location and he leaves the page up so I peek on it every now and then...
I don't believe he blogs... although myspace has a blog space... I noticed he sort of blogs by adding to his page often... He tells how he feels or what's going on with him... I can't see him, Mr. Cool, blogging every day... It does seem more like a "girl" thing...as the article stated.
Anyway, teens and technology.... it's amazing... They can figure out how to do everything... Why can't some adults do the same???... Technology is the way of the world... It's how we communicate...
My son, however, loves to communicate at my expense...I was trying to figure out why my cell phone bill was so expensive since adding my son's line... Come to find out, my son sent over 1,200 text messages... Who in the world sends that many text messages??? How do you have time???
Back to myspace.com....Just today my son found an old friend on myspace... It's actually a great tool to communicate with people you don't see everyday... and to meet new people... Between his MP3 player, his cell phone and myspace.com, I rarely see my son except for an occasional trip to the kitchen or to ask for money and a ride... But hey, he's a good kid...

ooh--- fancy blog entries...different fonts and colors too! i like the different styles...
my space is an amazing communication tool. i found an old friend from high school through the site. also...what's great about it is you can have control over your page...if you want to make it private so only your "friends" can see it, then the site allows you to do that. your son sounds like he is responsible with his use of the site; youre a responsible parent too, with having the computer in a common location.
enjoy your pres. day break!
He sounds like a great kid, and one who has learned to use technology to make his life even better. (The text messaging part of your post made me laugh -- I could never send that many, but I know many of my undergrads do very easily). I love how you wrote about what he does online too. Very cool!
