bigway 4 #2 February 23, 2008 I think so. It makes my face cringe when my girlfriend ever mentions her myspace or facebook or whatever the latest one to have is. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grannyinthesky 0 #5 February 23, 2008 Quoteis it weird when parents or people older than say 35-40 have one? Some particular reason you think people over 40 shouldn't have one? I've found it the best and fastest way to keep in touch with my daughter and my nieces and nephew. When I post a message to any of them, I generally have a response in a pretty short time. Not to mention, I've found quite a few other people my age do have myspace pages and it's a fun way to get to know them."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

Shotgun 1 #7 February 23, 2008 It's an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. What does that have to do with how old someone is or whether they have children? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
point_code 0 #8 February 23, 2008 I'm over 40(just barely) and I have one. It's only there so I can share swap photos with my children in florida. It's like a living photo album complete with comments and messages. Our sites are updated regularly and we can direct other family members to our pages so they can share too. It's interesting though that since I started using the site a few months ago when my grandson was born I've been contacted by 4 old high school classmates that I hadn't heard from since graduation.

Conundrum 1 #9 February 23, 2008 QuoteIt's an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. What does that have to do with how old someone is or whether they have children? Agreed. I have actually become in contact with some old friends because of myspace and I (probably) wouldn't have otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a lot easier and faster to find someone on Myspace, than to find a phone number....especially, if you don't have an address. I use it primarily as a personal website, to post my jump pics, vids and experiences. I've probably met more skydivers and riders on Myspace, than at the dz or the track. I was leery of gettin' on there, at first but it's been cool, so far."T'was ever thus." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lastchance 0 #13 February 23, 2008 I was stationed in England in the early 80's and made a great friend there. We stayed in contact for a few yrs after I came back to the states but then life got in the way and we lost contact for over 20 yrs. I tried to find him but was unable to. 3 yrs ago my son and his son found each other on my space. We have been in contact ever since. We converse monthly by phone but we stay in regular contact on my space. I'm 47 and he is pushing 60. Age makes no difference. I also stay in contact with my son that way and can also punch up his bands site and find out when and where they are playing. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

happythoughts 0 #16 February 23, 2008 I have a myspace page, but I don't have any pictures or personal information on it. However, many of my friends have myspace pages and post pics on them. Many of the pics include me. In order to see the pics, you must have a myspace page. In function, it is the same as having a dz dot com logon, isn't it?
