NextAdvisor Launches "MySpace Identity Theft Protection Guide"
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2008 -- NextAdvisor.com, a leading provider of independent service reviews for consumers, is launching its free MySpace Identity Theft Protection Guide (http://www.nextadvisor.com/blog/2008/06/18/myspace-identity-theft-protection-guide) to help users of North America's largest social network protect themselves from falling victim to identity theft.
"MySpace's 110 million active users potentially represent a very large target for criminals of all kinds, including identity thieves," said Caitlin Podiak, Associate Editor at NextAdvisor.com. "Our guide is designed to raise awareness of the identity theft risks that face MySpace users and to provide some simple preventative measures that they can take to protect themselves."
The MySpace Identity Theft Protection Guide encourages users to take control of their personal MySpace profile page by proactively managing their privacy settings. For example, MySpace users should consider blocking unknown users from viewing their profile page.
The guide also suggests that users eliminate as much personally identifiable information, such as full date of birth, phone number and home address, from their MySpace profile page as possible. "MySpace users shouldn't publish anything on their profile page that they wouldn't divulge to a complete stranger," said Podiak.
The MySpace Identity Theft Protection Guide is available for free by visiting http://www.nextadvisor.com/blog/2008/06/18/myspace-identity-theft-protection-guide/.
NextAdvisor.com has also previously released a Facebook Identity Theft Protection Guide (http://www.nextadvisor.com/identity_theft_protection_services/facebook_identity_theft_protection_guide.php?kw=SMSRLS) that includes similar tips for preventing identity theft on Facebook.

What Does Your Myspace Background Say About You?
Popular social networking website MySpace has taken their operation to a new level in the last year. Pushed hard by competition from competing websites which attempt to piggyback off of their idea, MySpace has constantly been looking for different ways to get ahead and keep their largely youthful member base. Though there have been quite a few different things added to MySpace over the last few months, one of the most popular has been the new MySpace backgrounds which can be customized and uploaded easily. MySpace is now becoming much more than just a place to keep up with friends. Now, it is a place to make a statement about who you are and what you love.
Let Your Myspace Layout Speak For Yourself
MySpace has become so popular it is now in the top three most popular websites in the United States. With that comes fifty million users that are all ready, willing, and able to social network with just about anyone that logs on. MySpace was originally known as a ?hang out? place, but it is now being used by all ages and genders for everything from hanging out to job seeking. Because the individuality of each user is so unique, so is each MySpace layout. Every MySpace layout that you will find will speak for itself on the person it is representing. You too can have this individuality, and better yet, you can do it for free and it won?t take you more than a few minutes.

Or if you don?t like any of them you might want to create one of your own. The same rules apply when you have an online profile and want to change your page. If your page is right now blank with nothing but your basic details, you should put in some color and logos or designs on it to liven it up.
