I want to make it public but I hear nighmare sories like that lady who foun someone using her son’s picture for sale on craigs list.
But then again I don’t always know the people I add as friends either. I thought the point of those things was just to add people.

Hundreds of Americans get pulled over every day for DUI. Only those who have caused an accident or initiated a police chase make the news.
Same with MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. Millions of people using them quite happily and safely but only horror stories make the news.
I met my wife on MySpace
Craigslist is a little more dangerous than YouTube, at least. Facebook can be bad if you put all yer info up. If you decide to make them public, just don’t say where you live and try to keep pictures of you at a minimum. You should be fine.
being public is pointless
why have friends on these websites if you don’t know them?
i honestly doubt you will talk to them
