If you have kids and a computer, it's likely that your child has a page on Myspace, or knows someone who does. After all, there are more than 100 million registered Myspace users.

And parents who want to know how to monitor Myspace have good reason.

High profile news stories have surfaced on more than one occasion detailing dangers from cyber bullying, to sexual predators, to inappropriate and misleading information posted by kids themselves.

In response to these online dangers Myspace offers its own control mechanisms, but unfortunately it's common knowledge that older kids know how to get around them.

So how can concerned parents monitor Myspace?

The answer is to invest in good quality parental control software.

The more sophisticated parental control programs now offer features specifically designed to monitor Myspace, Facebook, Friendster, and any other social networking sites.

But quality is key here. Poor quality parental controls are easy to detect and disable, and don't tend to organize their information in a way that's helpful to parents.

When shopping for software to monitor Myspace we recommend that you look for invisibility, the best keylogger, and applications designed with monitoring social networking sites in mind.

Invisibility is important because kids who know that they're being monitored will just continue their dangerous or inappropriate behaviors using someone else's computer.

A good keylogger will allow parents to catch the usernames and passwords kids use to login to their Myspace account, or to login to multiple or "hidden" accounts.

And parental control features designed to monitor Myspace will allow parents to know when a page is changed, when new "friends" are approved or ask for approval, will monitor Myspace chats, and will even capture Myspace email and attachments.
