"MySpace Safety: 51 Tips" was noticed and commented on at the PluggedInHomeSchool blog. Having homeschooled our son and daughter through most of their pre-college education, we can really appreciate the situation of homeschooling families.
Providing children with positive socialization can be one of the greatest problems for homeschooling parents, especially if you live in a more remote area. Also, one of the reasons you may be homeschooling is because you wanted your children to have a different set of experiences from what is "normal" in modern society.
The article at PluggedInHomeSchool.com, "New Book About MySpace Safety", states:
"It makes sense that keeping the communication lines open with our kids is one of the most important factors. I hope as homeschoolers we have an advantage here, but it takes effort and diligence, too. Just because we’re all together in the same house doesn’t mean we’re all on the same page emotionally. Let’s build relationships with those kids while we’re building their minds."
Clearly, this is quite applicable to non-homeschooling parents as well.
