MySpace is the number one social networking website in the world today. It has long passed the hundred millionth member mark and has taken the lead as the most visited website in the internet. Myspace offers its members several ways to interact with each other and has its own internal search engine and email system. Pictures, blogs, music, profiles and groups are just several of the things you will encounter while exploring this world.
Your Profile
MySpace gives users many tools to customize their page and interact with the other members of the social network. Firstly, Myspace contains two standard blurbs where you can post a write up about yourself and a description of people you would like to meet.
The Profile page also contains a section where you can post your interests and details about yourself. This will make it easier for the other members to come across your page when searching for people with the same interests. The details section will also give the other people an idea about your religion, sexual orientation, race, etc. You can also upload several photos you would like to share with families and friends or would like to show to your page's visitors. One of these photos can be designated as the default picture and will be the one that will appear on your profile page. Moreover, you can post streaming videos and music to further customize your space.
Myspace also offers its users ways to change the look of their page much like any standard website by html and css applications. With these, you can change the colors, the layout, embed your favorite music and video in your main page and place a background picture.
Your Friends
Your friends are also displayed on your page. You can choose the number and the friends you want to display on this area. Your friends can also send you their comments about your photos which you can approve and post alongside your pictures.
You can look for a friend by using the internal search engine of Myspace. Here you can locate your friend easily by inputting the name, the email address, other information that will limit the search results to just a few.
Your Tools
There are also several tools you can use in Myspace to interact with the other members of the social network. The bulletin board for example will easily enable all your friends to know about an important event or announcement you have posted. You can also specify if you want to limit your bulletin notification to just a few friends in your network.
Your Groups
The groups feature of MySpace also allows you to take part in a community that shares your interests or passions. Members of the same group allow them to share the same bulletin board and a common page. These groups then serve to provide a place wherein members can communicate with each other through forums, bulletins and private messaging. The groups can be about anything and can be started by anyone. Not all groups however are public and some will require you to apply or wait for approval from the group owner before becoming a member of the group.
