Your MySpace Profile Could Hurt Your NFL Career

Norma, a librarian from Illinois, emailed me this funny tidbit:

"Just wanted to give you a recent example for your talks. The first draft choice for the Chicago Bears is probably wishing he didn't have a Myspace page. When he was a freshman, he and some guys from his dorm videoed a rap song and put it on Myspace. I guess that it is soooo bad that one reporter said that it made Imus look like a feminist. Another comment was that if Imus got fired from his job for what he said, these guys should be jailed. The TV station this morning had a hard time cleaning it up enough to air. The bleeps had a pretty good beat. Just thought that I would share that with you."

Also, I get asked a lot about safe sites for kids and tweens. Izzy, a fellow blogger, and community manager, wrote up this great list. She plans to keep updating it so keep it bookmarked.
