I've been mulling over a few ideas for the past couple of days and I came up with this:
What if MySpace (or any social networking site) had an "in case of emergency, contact" form that you had to fill out when you signed up? Just like how when you enroll in a school or go to the doctor's office they always make you fill out that tiny form. What if you had to enter the email address or IM/text message info of an emergency contact? How would usage abuse be prevented? Maybe there is a process. You have to enter your contact info and if you're found to be abusing the system, your account is erased. Also, people are less likely to prank a person they don't know (the emergency contact) than they are the person they are targeting, or the site admin. Thoughts?
