Why are social networking sites closed off to members only? If my dad wants to see my photos on MySpace, he can't. Why? Because he doesn't have a MySpace account of his own and MySpace doesn't let non-members view photos or videos on MySpace profiles.

It's the same thing on Facebook. Actually, Facebook is even more private. You can't even view profiles on Facebook unless you're a Facebook member.

Why is it members only? Most of my friends and family don't have MySpace or Facebook profiles, nor do they want one. I look forward to when my friends and family can see my photos and read my blog.
