- donutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty thorough, but doesn't address any legitimate reasons why one should be keeping their myspace activity hidden from your parent/wife/husband/boss/kid. Likely because there isn't a good legitimate reason... no digg

Why would you keep your phone conversations private? Why would you keep what you do in the bathroom private? Why would you keep what you write to a friend with pen and paper private?
Privacy needs no reason, it just needs protection.
If I want to use MySpace and I don't want people in my house or people who have access to my PC knowing that is MY choice. If I'm a minor (which I'm not) and my parents are concerned, they can get INVOLVED in my life, or TALK TO ME, they don't need to be spying on me in order to "protect" me from social networking.
If I'm a minor I do social networking everyday at school, playing sports, participating in activities...MySpace is no different, it's just online.
This scenario has played out with every online innovation, email, chat, IM, blogs you name it, parents and authorities freak over the idea of "their" children networking socially online. - ahoier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is kinda pointless...."The very first rule that you must follow in order to keep your MySpace privacy in tact is to keep your MySpace identity secret from anyone in “real” life that doesn’t NEED TO KNOW your nickname."
Sure, they may or may not know my myspace name, but I've added my "REAL name" to my profile (though, hidden, it's in the options/preferences somewhere), so that old classmates and such can find me (yea, I don't care to pay for classmates.com access, or registering to/at all of the alumni sites on the internet.
Other than that, it's a good guide to "staying anonymous" on the internet. But I feel myspace is a way to meet old and new friends. Without them knowing some details, it makes that kind of difficult, and then it just makes myspace YAIFHOTWWW (yet-another-internet-forum-hangout-on-the-world-wide-web).
BTW, if you use Firefox, check out TorPark, up to version 1.5 now, it packs Tor (the onion routing project) and Firefox into 1 easy to run executable.
