I can certainly see why teens like these social networking sites. MySpace is a popular site and I see it frequently in use on computers at the library. Kids don't seem to have any problems setting up their profiles and adding pictures, etc.
I especially liked the basic safety information provided on Bebo. It was interesting, amusing and very effective at showing just who could be in the network, and how once something is posted, it is out there. Unlike a physical bulletin board where you can just take a picture down, the online world provides a fast way for anyone else to have your pictures, etc.
For libraries, using MySpace to reach out to young adults could be an effective way to make libraries more appealing.
