Spider Man 3 MySpace Layouts

How could I forget, I've got Spider Man 3 movie myspace layouts. I've yet to make it to the theater to check out the film, but I'm definitely excited. So far I think it's getting mixed reviews, but with Peter Parker and Mary Jane, not to mention Venom, how could you go wrong?

Below is a preview of the Spider Man 3 Layouts which you can use on your MySpace Profile.

As of now I'm planning on going to the movies tomorrow evening...I just hate going when it's too crowded. Here's web in your eye until the next MySpace Movie Layout update.

Punched In The Face On MySpace

I feel like all I right about is students being disciplined and individuals losing their jobs over MySpace content. Why? Apparently MySpace is on everyones mind and where else should inquiring minds go when they have nothing better to do, but nose around in other peoples business.

The news today is that a 19 year old student in Mansfield Ohio was suspended for 3 days from school for punching a 'friend' in the face. The students were not caught and the person on the receiving end of the punch agreed to the punch, but it was filmed in the school parking lot. Guess where the video showed up at? derrrrrr, MySpace.

So, for $70, a mutually agreed upon punch in the face, and a video camera you too can be suspended from school. This means whether you were caught or not, MySpace content can still come back to haunt you. I don't care how funny it may seem at the time. Don't these teachers have better things to do than nose through kids MySpace profiles? I have an idea, how about teach. Boys will be boys.

Obama MySpace Takeover

It's almost a joke, a MySpace profile influencing a presidential campaign. However, it is no joke and Barrack Obama is taking his name and profile back on MySpace. Not that it was ever stolen, the person who maintained the profile worked for Obama's presidential campaign.

Recently the profile exploded with page views and popularity as the friends list vaulted over 160,000. Obama, whom feared that if anyone else controlled the profile, a misrepresentation of his platform or worse would happen. So, did Obama lose a vote because of his bullying?

Anthony wrote on his MySpace blog that he was heartbroken that the Obama campaign was "bullying" him out of the page he built. He initially said the candidate lost his vote, but Obama may have begun to win it back after a Wednesday evening phone call that Anthony called a great honor. Anthony said he was so nervous that he doesn't remember exactly what Obama said, but the candidate expressed his appreciation and they agreed everyone learned a lesson in this case.

As a potential future leader to our country, doesn't he have better things to be worried about? I suppose if he ever does become president he will want to control what Digg Users have to say.

Is MySpace Your Space?

Another case has surfaced where an individual has been affected due to content on a MySpace profile.

Millersville University denied Stacy Snyder a teaching certificate on the eve of her graduation after finding a picture of her on MySpace with the caption "Drunken Pirate." The case looks like it could be a landmark for internet privacy rights.

Users must remember that MySpace is a public forum, just like any place else, where your actions speak. In this case it happened to be a picture of Stacy Snyder enjoying an adult beverage, which in turn has been spun into her 'encouraging' underage drinking. Although that may not be the case, there are still ramifications for allowing that picture to end up in a public realm. But who's responsibility is it to keep private images/information off of MySpace?

Industry experts believe that this case could possibly become the benchmark, which regulates MySpace (amongst other social networks) privacy. BloggingStocks asks the question, if the court rules that you could lose your job/diploma over what's on MySpace, would you have YourSpace?
