i-Jam: MySpace & Facebook session

Just now getting around to posting some items from my notes on the MySpace and Facebook session at the recent i-Jam conference:

* MySpace is owned by Fox Interactive Media, and 1/4 of Americans are on MySpace
* 20 million images and 105,000 videos are posted daily to MySpace, all of which are viewed before uploading
* There is a MySpace guide for parents and teachers, and I'll hyperlink one site that has it uploaded
* The session mentioned ikeepsafe.org, which includes (among other things) software that is supposed to assist parents in seeing what their kids are doing
* Facebook noted that their response time on reported violations is within 24 hours on nudity, pornography and harassing messages
* Facebook also noted that 100% of the emails sent to the 'abuse' reporting mailbox are reviewed within 72 hours
