Family FAQ

You asked:

My daughter is always sending her friends "messages" versus emails. How is she doing this?

The Online Family answers:

She’s probably using a social networking site like MySpace or Facebook to message her friends. Social networks allow users to send each other email-like messages without using an email program. In order to send and receive messages, all of her friends need to be members of the same social network. These messages are stored on the social network site versus on your computer.
