MySpace is supposed to have a 13 year old age requirement, but most people are aware that kids much younger can easily get around that by checking a box and adding a few years to their birthday. Around one third of the 10 year olds in my son's class last year had MySpace accounts and in many cases, their parents have no idea. While some of the hype about the dangers of MySpace and other sites like it is overblown, there are some definite concerns and parents need to be aware of what their child is doing on MySpace and online in general, and who they are interacting with. Many people online aren't who they pretend to be, and many kids can easily be duped. Myspace tracking is one way to keep tabs on your child's use of MySpace. With SpectorPro 6.0, you can log all the activity your child has online -- keystrokes, websites visited, emails, and chats. The software costs $99.95 and has won a couple of PC Magazine Editor's Choice awards for recording computer activity. You can install it and use it without anyone's knowledge of it, or you can say upfront that you are concerned about some of the online predators who might be out there and let your child know that you will be tracking what they do online. Either way, using SpectorPro 6.0 can give you some peace of mind and keep your child safe online. The software isn't limited to tracking MySpace use -- it will capture everything that goes on.
