ALARM! :: I should have told you that movies in the afternoon are my weakness.

Turning MySpace into TheirSpace

I finally made it big time: I’m in the tabloids! That’s right, if you live in the D.C. area you can find me (or at least an article by me) in everyone’s favorite free daily, The Washington Examiner, with an article on the problems with government attempts to regulate MySpace and other social networking websites. Will you be my net-friend?

Like a coffee shop or a mall, the Internet has evolved into a digital “third place,” a location we visit not only for business needs, but for entertainment and social interaction.

With the advent of social networking Web sites like MySpace, the Web is no longer just an extension of the office — it’s a vast virtual playground where individuals of all ages can meet up and chill out.

But recent calls for the government to place restrictions and requirements on sites like MySpace would march out the government hall monitors, forcing MySpace to become TheirSpace.

Pick up a copy of the paper or read the whole thing online.
