Hi how safe is xanga online? Compared to myspace?

I was signed up on myspace, but i hear that it's not that safe. some of my friends have xanga. Is xanga any more safe and fun than myspace??

Hi how safe is xanga online? Compared to myspace?
i agree with the person right above me. it does not depend on the site, it depends on YOU. i personally have always thought that xanga would be more dangerous, because i use it like a personal diary, telling locations and things i did during the day. which can give away your location.





but yes, myspace is as safe as YOU make it. not adding people who are not your real friends in life, and NOT putting up information that others can use to find you. if you are age 14 or 15, you are going to be more safe, because your profile is Private, and only people who add you as a friend can see it. if you are not 14 or 15, you still can be extra safe. my profile says very little and you can not see my conversations with others or my comments. all the info on my page about me is:





Hi, I'm Amanda.


I like to be random.


I think wayy too much.


When I grow up I want to be a shrink.


I like to do things that make ppL think: WTF?


Umm..


I DO NOT ADD ppL i do not know. or like that one girl that knows one of my friends.


The friends on my list, i actually talk to or see on a regular basis.








but ultimately, the decision is up to you.


my stats:


myspace for almost two years; almost 17 years old; have not been stalked/raped/killed/or kidnapped


xanga for about a year or so... NO ONE but my best friend knows about it and sees it.


because it is my personal diary.
Reply:You determine how safe it is. If you choose to put personal information on your profile, that's your own problem. Myspace and xanga don't show the public anything that you don't want them to see. They both have options to choose if you want to show your last name, address, email address, and other personal stuff.
Reply:its not how safe it is.


both are about the same


its just the fact that the myspace community is so much larger than the xanga community. that's what makes it mroe dangerous.


my suggestion to you would be if anything, only make a xanga.
