Facebook claims to be "… a trusted environment for people to interact safely."<br /><br />While MySpace has implemented security measures for ensuring the safety of minors, it was revealed in February 2009 that 90,000 registered sex offenders have been kicked off its site in the past two years.(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28999365/) Personally, I’m considering deleting my MySpace profile because I’ve been a victim of cyberstalking. (Watch for another blog post on this topic in a couple of days.)<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how many iLike loyalists abandon the service instead of migrating to MySpace. I’m also curious of Facebook’s response, and what music service it will offer to its users. That's a good point, Rayanne.

Someone will probably develop something similar for Facebook once it's a MySpace-only tool.<br /><br />Lots of people hate MySpace and using the site is a terrible experience for them. I kind of think people will abandon the application in favour of hangin' out in a safe and comfortable neighbourhood. Or people will just stop using iLike.
