Is MySpace PR Nightmare in the Making?

Greg Sterling writes at the Search Engine Journal that MySpace is a PR Nightmare in the making on the basis of the recent rise of negative press regarding potential dangers the service presents to kiddies. I don’t agree. The only difference now is that the stories revolve around MySpace and not blogging, because if you go back 12-18 months the same sort of things were being said about blogging and blogs and yet we are all still here. Indeed take any of the old negative “blogging is bad for Kiddies” storys and substitute MySpace for blogging and the press is identical. MySpace is getting the attention now based on its rapid growth. These stories will go away, it’s just that they seem to be the flavor of the month at the moment.
