I think that social networking is something with which we would be silly not to become involved. It is definitely here to stay! I'm very glad that YAAB has its own myspace page, and that we are reaching out to young people in their 'own backyard'. Using the computer to social network is immediate and fast. It's amazing how quickly, and how far, your contacts grow as you connect with friends of friends of friends.
However, there are some disadvantages too. When I approached my YAAB group about upgrading our group's website to a myspace account, they chose not to, as they would not be able to access the myspace info through their school computers due to filtering etc. However, I'm still waiting on the teen to volunteered to maintain the site to bring it up to date. We may need to reassign.
