Some interesting reasons why to care:
The question is, should you care? Those of us old enough to have a 401(k) plan can't help but ask what the big deal is about MySpace and all of the other social-networking sites out there. Is this a cultural and technological phenomenon, or just a new way to goldbrick? Who uses them besides 19-year-old layabouts posting treatises on Laguna Beach or pictures of Joey doing a keg stand at the Sigma Chi party last night?
Well, there's Daniel Boud, a 26-year-old Web designer and amateur photographer who posted his concert photos on Flickr, and they ended up in Rolling Stone. There's Joe Ford Jr., a 32-year-old lawyer from Tennessee, who is running for Congress mainly through a MySpace page. And 31-year-old schoolteacher Kathryn Smith, who lost nearly 30 pounds in a couple of weeks, thanks to the support she received on PeerTrainer.
