Why Set Your MySpace Page To Private?
The following is a Guest Post and does not necessarily reflect the views of Webdoctus.com.
This post concludes our week of MySpace, I wanted to give a special thanks to all of you that have supported the site. I truly appreciate your purchases and look forward to hearing your feedback.
There are a lot of reasons why a lot of people want to set their MySpace profile to private. Of course, some of the reasons for wanting this private setting are more valid than others. However, the number one reason why so many people wish to set their profiles to private is because they enjoy their privacy and do not want everyone in the world to view their page.
The MySpace community is extremely large. There are practically millions of people that have a page on MySpace. Depending upon if they utilize their page or not is another question. However, not only do the people that are located in the MySpace community going to be able to gain access to your page, but anyone who has access to a computer can do so as well.
There will always be people that prefer to keep their MySpace profile open to the public. It could be simply because they are proud of the page that they made on the social network, or they want as many people as possible to view something, they may have written or to take a gander at their pictures. A lot of people that choose to leave their profiles set to a public viewing setting do not realize how many people have the opportunity to gain access to their information.
People put a lot of personal things on their MySpace pages. There are some people that include their full names on their pages as well as people that post an array of pictures of themselves and their family members on their pages as well. Everyone would be able to look at pictures of your private life, and inadvertently there will be a lot of people that you don’t know that all of a sudden will know you if your profile is not set to private.
When you take the short 5 seconds to set your MySpace page to private you will be avoiding your information being avaliable at the public’s demand. You won’t have to worry about strange people that you will probably never meet seeing pictures of you or your family.
In order to set your MySpace account to private, all you need to do is simply log into your account and go to the account settings tab. After accessing this tab you will see a topic that says privacy settings. Go into these settings and locate change settings. You’ll scroll down and come to a box that says who can view my full profile.
At this point you will be given the option to choose from three different settings. There is the setting for your friends only, the public and another one for only users under the age of 18. Choose to only have your page shown to your friends only and you’re done!
Be aware that if you are under the age of 18 your profile is automatically set to private. If you try to change your profile in order to gain more viewers and you are under the age of 18 you risk the chance of losing your profile page entirely.
