Relationships and sharing: This section controls who can see all the content you post on a day-to-day basis (such as status updates, photos and videos).

"Customize settings" displays a full list so you can control the privacy level for each setting.

(Receive emails and notifications even after you deactivate) **__ Myspace __** MySpace is a web site where members can meet friends, find and listen to new bands/music, blog, plan events, play games, and participate in user forums and create positive social change. MySpace has revolutionized the way today’s youth communicate and interact online.

The minimum age for membership on MySpace is 14 years old. If your child is under 14 and on MySpace, notify MySpace and the profile will be promptly removed. Profiles belonging to members younger than 16 years old are set by default to only be visible to MySpace members on their friends list. Their information, photos, and the ability to contact them are only available to members they know. Adults are blocked from contacting members under 16 unless they know the younger member’s last name or email address. Members under 18 years old are prevented from participating in group discussions on designated mature topics. Additionally, safety tips aimed at young members appear as they browse the site. MySpace staff proactively investigates possible underage users. Members found to be younger than 14 or misrepresenting their age to evade privacy protection are deleted.

An information network
Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find [|interesting]. Simply find the public streams you find most compelling and follow the conversations. At the heart of Twitter are small bursts of information called [|Tweets].
