MySpace building tool to block sex offenders

MySpace, the popular online hangout that has drawn complaints about sexual predators and other dangers to teens, said Tuesday it will develop technologies to help block convicted sex offenders.  MySpace is partnering with Sentinel Tech Holding Corp. to build a database containing names, physical descriptions and other identifiable details on sex offenders in the United States.  I think that this is very interesting and it is a good thing to have.  There are always stories about how sites such as facebook and MySpace are sketchy and it is very easy for sex offenders to meet people.  Some of my friends think that it is a sex offenders paradise.  MySpace is taking a step in the right direction because it is taking a proactive stand in order to prevent future problems.  These problems could cause negative publicity for MySpace.  I am interested to see how this system works and how effective it will be.
