Like a kid in a candy store
Topic: Technology 9:25 am EST, Jan 15, 2008

and today, from the "Truly good intentions but WTF are you thinking" category

Representatives from MySpace and the attorneys general of 49 states are announcing a new partnership to fight sexual predators and clean up social networks.

Among the dozens of measures MySpace has agreed to take, the social network will let parents submit the e-mail addresses of their children, so the company can prevent anyone from using that address to set up a profile.

MySpace doesn't have a stellar history when it comes to security (sorry Ramsey, I know you are trying, but you all aren't there yet). This database is a gold-mine for marketers and pedophiles alike, and I'm a little concerned about its existence.
