Myspace Friend Request Could Mean Jail Time
Now this is something that will definitely make an interesting read. A 16 year old girl from Staten Island could end up in jail because she sent friend request to there myspace profiles.
Shockingly since the girl is under aged, the name of the girl was given out to the public! Anyways, the girl’s name is Melissa Fernio. I’m sure you’re asking what ‘exactly’ that she has done wrong?
Well, apparently she has violated a Family Court that barred here from contacting a 13 year old woman and here two daughters and now Melissa Fernio is charged with second-degree criminal contempt.

MySpace Safety Plan – Smoke and Mirrors?
Earlier today I posted about MySpace planning some structural changes to block sexual predators from abusing the social network and it’s members. A total of 49 states (in the US) will be cooperating closely with MySpace to help their plans. If you remember, there are a total of 50 states in US and which states is missing? Well, it’s Texas.
Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott explained the reason for not participating and cooperating with MySpace at News.com.
In my opinion, it’s better to have some kind of plan than having no plan at all. As my mom used to say “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail”

MySpace Acquires MySpace.co.uk Domain
Recently, MySpace has successfully acquired the domain name “myspace.co.uk”. Even though the domain name was registered by Total Web Solutions Ltd in 1197 which was 6 years before the social networking site MySpace ever existed, the decision-maker was convinced by MySpace to hand over “myspace.co.uk” to MySpace Inc.
Before this, many experts mutually agreed that to see whether a domain name was registered in bad faith is to refer initial date of registration of the domain name. It seems the ‘decision maker’ may have been drunk? I don’t know what you think but I think the ‘decision maker’ may receive a compensation by MySpace Inc
For more information, please visit any of the following site:
