MySpace is one of the leading social networking sites on the Internet today. It is a good portal to stay in touch with your old friends and family members but it can also be a haven where predators can prey on your kids. Parents just won’t know who their kids are talking to on the web. Here is one way that you can monitor your child’s activities on my space.

• First off, ask your child’s MySpace URL address
• Log on to that web address and go to its blog section and click on “view all blog entries”.
• Right click on the URL or web address located at the box on top and click copy
• Go to this site: http://makedatamakesense.com/myspace/ and paste your copied URL
• Click on “create RSS”
• You would be directed to a page where you have to copy the web address.
• On your feed reader, (you can get this for free on blog sites) add the feed that you just copied.

This process just made you a subscriber to your kid’s MySpace blog.

This neat procedure would not only allow you to read your kid’s blog entries, but you can actually edit them too. Make sure that their blog don’t expose their personal information such as complete name and home address.

Another advice- it is always a good thing that parent’s create their own MySpace profile and comment on their kid’s page every now and then just to make them feel your presence.
