What Is MySpace?
What's The Scene Like?

By , About.com Guide

Finding Friends - You can find both old friends and make new friends on MySpace pretty easily. What's your pleasure, you can find it here.

Old Friends - You can search for friends by school if you want to find old classmates. You can also search by age, location and gender if you are looking for something else. I found a couple old friends while I was writing this.

New Friends - There are many ways for you to meet new people on MySpace as well. You can join groups, forums and send messages.

Connect to Friends - Once you find someone you want to connect with you can send them an email right through MySpace.

Forums - There are forums you can join in on many topics. Sit and chat with people that have the same interests as you.

Groups - There are groups that you can join to meet new friends. Join a group about something you like. Let's say you are interested in meeting people that enjoy hot rod cars. Join a group that includes people that also like hot rod cars.

Chat room - I don't see any chat rooms on MySpace so you would have to use the instant messaging email or the forums to communicate.

Live Chat (Instant Messaging) - MySpace does offer instant messaging for their users. If you want to IM someone just go to their profile page and click on the link that says "Instant Message".

Subscriptions - You can subscribe to other people's MySpace blogs. Then you can read the blogs you've subscribed to from your own blog page.

Friends Lists - Add all the friends you want to your friends list. Then you can keep in touch with them easier.

Comments On Blogs And Profiles - Post comments on people's blog entries. Comments can be set up to be approved by the owner of the blog. I don't believe there is a way to post comments on the profile itself though.

More - MySpace has tons of stuff going on all the time. Movies, music, comedy, reviews. If you like these sorts of things and are bored this is the place to go.
