Facebook, MySpace, etc

I have had a Facebook account for a little bit, but haven’t used it much.  I am not sure how comfortable I feel with sharing all this information for the world to see.  Most of my online group experience has been in restricted groups where you need a password to access (not the bad kind, but the kind where security is important)  Anyway, I don’t put too much info on there, on the other hand its pretty cool to find people that you haven’t seen in a while, which is what I am hearing is happening a lot.  I don’t know what I would do if my kids were to ask about an account, I worry about their safety and I think that with most types of internet communication it is self limited access, ie you limit what you tell to whom.  However with Facebook and MySpace anyone can see it and read what others have written, and its pretty much required to add in a lot of personal information, where as things like blogs you are pretty anonymous.  My 2c thats all!!
