*Allow members to check students who are taking the same class,living with the same are or coming from the same academy

•The Disadvantage for me is it is a bit addictive.Facebook also offers a lot of more privacy with in myspace.Also the disadvantages don't pose a threat to you just by merely looking at it.Someone else has to prove that what users do with their profile is directly in proportion with what can happen to them.A user must understand what he is trying to give out otherwise things might get messy and people will mistook them as someone else.
