MySpace To Issue Amber Alerts
Today MySpace announced that they are going to help protect missing children. Starting Tuesday whenever an Amber Alert is issued all MySpace users in the area code the child/children went missing in will get an alert at their profile page.

This is being done through an agreement between News Corp. (MySpace’s parent company) and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
This alert will appear in the top of user’s profile. Members can then click on the alert to find out more details about the missing child/children.
MySpace is implementing a number of other security features like requiring a valid Email address to sign up, offering software that can prohibit adults from talking to users 14-18, and are working on software that parents can access their children’s usernames, ages and locations they use in their personal profile pages.
I think this is a good way to be a responsible net-neighbor. What say you?
