Don't trust anyone over 30...who uses Facebook or MySpace

Are you over 30 and have a MySpace page or a Facebook account? If you do, many social media users under 30 feel like adults are crashing their party.

Gone are the days when adults didn't understand "this Internet thing". Mom and Dad are now visiting their kids pages and checking out their friends list. This is causing some tension because some young users feel that their social media sites are their own space.
