Social networking sites like Orkut, MySpace, Hi5 and Xing have caught the imagination of the netizens and many anecdotes are adrift in cyberspace as to how netizens have established contacts with long lost friends and loved ones. But these have a flip side. Creating a profile in these websites is an easy process and this has created many issues. Problems abound in the cyberspace because of its anonymous nature. Often the only requirement for creating a profile in these sites is a valid email address. As such there is no authenticating mechanism for verifying the details provided by a user.
