Goodbye MySpace/Facebook, Hello Stickam!


I heard about Stickam about a year ago, and thought to myself....that could be the next big thing on the web. It looks as if its time has finally come. Stickam works essentially like a MySpace or Facebook, with profiles and friends lists, but Stickam takes the social networking to a whole new level. Stickam's major selling point is its web cam activity. Thousands of students are showing their faces to the world for all to see. Now, you can set your privacy preferences so that only your friends can see your live video feed, or you can let anyone check you out. This place could be a parents nightmare or if used with the right monitoring and rules, could be a really fun thing. Stickam is now the most visited website by teens according to this article. Check this article out and even the website. We can't be scared of this technology, because it's not going anywhere and it'll only get more prevalent. But, we must figure out how to monitor and teach students the dangers that are out there.
