Maybe I’m too old to really be that much into social networking sites like MySpace, or maybe I don’t need them in the way younger people do, so I’ve rarely been to the sight.  What’s becoming obvious to me, however, is there is much more to MySpace than kids trying to hook up or, as some claim, that t’s the greatest threat to America’s children.  This article points out that it can also be the greatest threat facing the corporate world, as well.  I like the contrast of corporate replies in this story.  Take Best Buy:

ENTRY: "Don’t b—- about the long receipts. You know there’s no way I can make them shorter and you really think Best Buy gives a s— about trees? The only paper Best Buy cares about is the one with the dead presidents on them."

COMPANY COMMENT: We’re not going to pretend like we don’t see what is out there, so we try to get into the conversation.

I’m sure they’re not thrilled with what their associates are saying, but at least they’re not The Home Depot:

ENTRY: "I finally had enough of the stupidity, lack of communication and the inability to hire associates with a brain… you ask a question and all you get is a blank look, and this goes all the way to management."

COMPANY COMMENT: The Home Depot respects the right of associates to express opinions on the Internet….Any posting of confidential information would be inappropriate.

Yeah, that’s the way to deal with the issue.  Morons.  No wonder their employees are writing such "fun" things about the company.
