MyYearbook...Younger Generation

MyYearbook is fast becoming the next important competition to Facebook. MyYearbook is a social network aimed at high school students. MyYearbook was initially created by two high school students, David and Catherine Cook, and their older brother Geoff, during Spring Break of 2005. With features like battling others pictures, sending flirts, sending premium gifts, and connecting with people your own age it’s a fast paced phenomenon. Although, with this rising age of “site-meetings” also comes the usual problems. Elderly “creepers” as some term it. This term mearly means that people over the age of forty with a username, but these types have a tendency to flirt with people half their age and try to have an element of being a teenager in their “about me” sections. There’s also the usual annoyances of chain mail, chain flirts, and chain gifts. People with entirely too much time on their hands will continuously send you the same comments (i.e please return comment with a page view. Thanks. = D) every day just so they can swing up their popularity vote. Regardless of the many annoying problems with the site, the theme and reason of the site remains clear. As of now, it’s a relatively safe, easy way to communicate with kids your age in highschool or college.
