Wanted to know if you can read someone's blog anonymously.

:grin:

It would depend on whether the page is set to Private or not. If it is, permission has to be granted (you have to be accepted as a friend) to view the page and read the content. Some people leave their pages open. I know that Meghan had hers open for awhile, but then decided to make it private her last year or two of college. This was suggested by her professors simply because many employers are now looking at My Space pages to try to get a feel for the character of a person. The down side of that is many of these people show someone they would like to be, but aren't really. It wasn't the case with Meghan, but she made the point that if you had a friend who was mad at you, they can post anything they want in the comments.
That's a long answer, I know, but My Space has taken on a life all its own lately. I actually have a page on Facebook now. My coworker's son is on there, the one who is now in Iraq, and it is a great way to communicate with him and to see pictures of his life over there. Meg has actually allowed me to be her "friend" on Facebook and have access to her page there. Since she read stuff from it to me all the time anyway, she said I might as well see it, I just couldn't judge anyone!

You can as long as it isn't blocked. I have one but I blocked it from spamers


Let me know if you have problems, oh and you can look me up on MySpace

I have a My Space page that I never update, but just use to read friends pages.  And as the others have said unless it is blocked you can usually read other people's pages.

shouldn't show anything when you read a page, only if you write something on someone's page.

I have a myspace account and blog sometimes. There are times when I have 100+ readers/ day and I have NO IDEA who is reading them. I kinda wish I knew sometimes, but there is no way to tell.
