Introduction
- One of the most exciting things about MySpace is the opportunity to connect with current friends and make new ones. If you already are on MySpace, you have probably already connected with people you know, but might wonder how to use the Website to get to know people.

Step 1: Adding Friends
- If you are a MySpace user, you are probably already familiar with the process of adding friends. If you are new to MySpace, learning how add friends is easy.
- Set your profile page to public to allow prospective friends to view it before they accept your invitation to become a friend. You do this by selecting "everyone" under "Profile Viewable By."
- To increase the chances of people adding you as a friend, make sure to have an interesting profile page.
- When you visit a person's profile, click on "Add to Friends". This sends a request to the person to add you as a friend.
- The person can accept or decline.
Step 2: Finding Friends
- There are several ways to make friends on MySpace.
- You can search for people through categories such as school or workplace to make friends with coworker or people in your school.
- You can participate in forums on MySpace.
- You can also join groups on MySpace. Groups are sorted by different topics, which allows you to find groups related to topics you are interested in.
- You can also simply browse through users on MySpace and add people that appear interesting.
- There are a variety of tools and applications that allow you to add friends quickly to your MySpace page. This increases your number of friends rapidly, but does not ensure a personal connection with all the people you add.
Step 3: Safety and Privacy
- Internet users, especially those under 18 years old, should be cautious about who they make friends with and what they reveal about themselves online, both on MySpace and other sites. Talk to your parents about online safety and never reveal any personal information about yourself, such as your phone number or address. Not everyone is who they appear to be. Keep in mind that any information and pictures you post online can be viewed by others. If you choose to allow everyone to view your profile, you should be extra cautious about what information you post on it. Take note that not only friends can see your information, but also family members, coworkers, employers, teachers and strangers.
