Cluj Napoca, ROMANIA -- Social networking sites have become one of the most popular means of communication among young people in Romania. A group of 20 teenagers was interviewed to investigate how they use sites like hi5, MySpace and Facebook. While most of them said they enjoyed meeting people on these sites, they were also cautious about privacy issues and the amount of information they shared with people online.
