MySpace Friends is one of the most important parts of the MySpace community. This is a great feature because it makes it so easy to keep in touch with your friends no matter how far they are. Also there are millions of interesting new people out there waiting to meet you. You can meet in groups or make acquaintances.
You can add and remove friends as you feel (located near the bottom right hand side of the member’s profile). If you wish to be added to a member’s list, there is a link that is provided on that person’s page. You can also interact with your friends by posting comments on their pages.
MySpace Groups is a favorite amongst the regular MySpace users. It’s a way for users with the same interests to meet in the same spot and discuss a subject that is close to them or interests them.
There are four ways of communicating on MySpace:
1) Email Messages – These are private messages sent to and from member to member.
2) Bulletins –Bulletins are really messages that are intended for everyone on your MySpace friend’s list to see.
3) Blogs – Blogs or ‘Blogging’ is another great source for getting traffic on your page. It’s more like a newsletter format, where you keep readers up to date with specific detailed information with regular posts. You can subscribe to the blogs you’re interested in.
4) Forums – Forums are a great tool on MySpace. Bulletins are similar to the forum, however a forum is more like active continuous conversation between different users. A bulletin is more like one person posting a comment and all responses are disabled.
So get out there and have fun!
