Blogging is Myspace???

If you have overly protective parents like mine you know exactly what I'm talking about. Allow me to lay the foundation of this discussion down for you. MYSPACE = THE DEVIL. My parents think that myspace is the place where people go to be loose, post dirty pictures of themselves, and write profanity and raunchy things to their friends. On top of that, they swear that if you have myspace that someone's going to track it back to me or I'm going to start talking to someone, meet up with them, and then I'm going to get kidnapped and killed. CRAZY huh? Too good to be true??? Well I'm serious. So, my mom called asking what I was doing and I told her making a blog for homework.....pause, pause, pause....
Mom: "You mean like a MYSPACE??"
Me: "Uh...no."
Mom: "Is it where you can post things and people can talk to you and everything?"
Me: "Umm....yeah?"
Mom: "So it is like myspace."
Me: " No, it's not like a MYSPACE!!!"
Mom: "FIRST OFF DON'T TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME AND I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT!!! AND I WANT TO SEE THIS 'HOMEWORK' YOU HAVE TO DO."
Me: (In my head) Holy crap....not again....


So I need some opinions, myspace=blogging??? Or am I just crazy to think it's not??

  5. Wow, that so sucks big time Shawnee. I don't think that Myspace is blogging because Myspace you can send messages, so I guess you could say that Myspace is like a Yahoo or an AOL thing.

  10. haha this got a lot of comments.

    i'd say myspace is somewhere you can keep in touch with your friends & blogging is for you to express your thoughts. different concepts.
