ngs on your blog, here's an item that was on Obscurestore.com on Friday; it seems that a few misguided youths videotaped themselves firebombing an abandoned Air Force hangar; naturally, following the dictum "Sharing Is Caring," they posted the video to a MySpace profile (you can see where this is going, right?), leading to the article headlined: "MySpace video of hangar bombing leads to teen arrests."If these criminal masterminds aren't enough, the article rounds up a few other recent incidents involving MySpace, blogs, or other social networking tools, including a look at the other side of the law, where six Lexington, Kentucky police officers were suspended for questionable content that they posted online.In another item, from a listserv here at work, there was an article from over the weekend in the L.A.

According to MySpace's terms of service, you have to be 14 to set up a profile, so there's a lot of negotiating, not to mention "You're ruining my life!" thrown around as boundaries are pushed and privileges revoked.It's interesting in a train-wrecky kind of way, though the writer seems fairly adept and nothing really bad happens; plus, she's pretty aware of the fact that her daughter can always do an end-run around her if she want Hi folks -- as part of my continuing series of how not to do stupid things on your blog, here's an item that was on Obscurestore.com on Friday; it seems that a few misguided youths videotaped themselves firebombing an abandoned Air Force hangar; naturally, following the dictum "Sharing Is Caring," they posted the video to a MySpace profile (you can see where this is going, right?), leading to the article headlined: "MySpace video of hangar bombing leads to teen arrests."If these criminal masterminds aren't enough, the article rounds up a few other recent incidents involving MySpace, blogs, or other social networking tools,including a look at the other side of the law, where six Lexington, Kentucky police officers were suspended for questionable content that they posted online.In another item, from a listserv here at work, there was an article from over the weekend in the L.A.
