The Social Networking Phenomenon
Social networking sites are here to stay, and with their rising popularity come concerns about online safety. Safe and educational social networking sites are emerging in the midst of lawsuits and increased safety measures, with the goal of limiting exposure to sexual predators while teaching users online safety etiquette.
Hoping to limit the possibilities of users communicating with predators and revealing too much personal information, a new batch of "safe" networking sites is emerging. Some of these safe sites also aim to help youngsters develop online skill sets and online behavior etiquette.
Tune in this weekend as Ken, Brandon, and Chad look at some of the different social networking sites and how they can be used for good and bad.
