To Blog or Not to Blog

I have gone round and round on whether or not I should let my own daughters use email, mySpace, blogs, twitter, etc. I am so worried about all of the cyberbulling and stalking going on. If you have kids what do you think? I know - supervision is the key. But what about the old fashioned way of talking face to face? I have seen people email stuff that they would never say to your face because they can't deal with the face to face reaction. I have heard adults and kids put stuff on facebook/myspace that got them in big trouble. What to do?

I do know that I want my students to be able to blog about what they are reading instead of just write it in a journal that they may get a response from their teacher in, but not a friend. I know this would get more of my students to enjoy writing about reading. Is this a double standard? I want to know.
