new intro

In recent years, the Internet has become an extremely popular resource for people looking to do a huge variety of things. The Internet can be a place where it is easy to find almost information you could want. It can also be a means of communication. Another prevalent use that has surged in recent years is the social networking site. Social networking is becoming an increasingly more popular way for individuals to meet others. With sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and even the numerous dating sites, like eHarmony, people around the world are connecting in ways that are unprecedented. There are, of course, risks that come with the rise of such sites. Most of these problems stem from the fact that the user can essentially choose how they want to present themselves and, to an extent, who they want to be. Using social networking sites allows the user to have a higher degree on anonymity. For some, this anonymity is why social networking sites is an attractive option when compared to face-to-face interaction, but for others, it allows for risky and even dangerous behavior.
