Re: Bebo and similar 'friend' network sites.

Against. Who the hell wrote that at the bottom of my signature!

Seriously, I personally use it to keep in touch with friends. I don't really see it being much different than here? Obviously it's a bit more idiotic but I like being idiotic at times. I get a laugh out of Bebo mostly. And I've gotten in touch with many friends and cousins I'd forgotten existed. It was nice to hear from them. Mostly.

Like all things it can be abused. But you can say that against the whole internet. Parents can easily supervise young kids pages by knowing their paswords. Teenagers? Well, that's another matter. But I doubt there would be more or less paedos in the world without Bebo or that they'd have more or less success. There's bad people out there.

Like ColR says though, and I've heard other horror stories, employers can view your site. Although I think there's some way you can block anyone you don't accept a friend from viewing your page.

Verdict? Bebo! Bebo! Bebo!
