STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

people, especially guys or people in bands, randomly click through profiles and contact whoever for random reasons. i very rarely have that happen on friendster, which is one of the reasons that i really dislike myspace. the other reason is that you can't see how you are connected to people. anyway, just ignore them. once in a while i will write back to a guy if he doesn't seem sketchy (i.e. has 200 friends and 95% of them are girls) and if we seem to have similar taste, but i never add someone unless i know them.

as for your actual friends, i send messages through myspace once in a blue moon, if i'm on there and think of something that i want to tell them and am too lazy to open my email.

Hey crystal!

I just block out all bands from emailing me. Go to "account settings" then click "privacy settings" and check off what you want to do. I have the following checked:

Approve Comments before Posting, Friend Only Blog Comments, Block Friend Request From Bands, and Disable Band Songs From Automatically Starting

that works for me!

I'm selective on who I add as a friend. Some people add everyone and dont communicate w/ them, but I choose to only add people I find interesting and who email me first. But of course it's your personal choice! :)

bulletins are fun...sometimes annoying yet addicting when you are bored at work! lol! all you do is hilight the entire bulletin of the person before then copy then go to your profile and click "post bulletin" in the "my mail" box. Then just repost it and confirm it and it will be posted as a bulletin. Only friends can view your bulletins.

If you have any ?'s just give me a holler! :)

I think everyone is in everyone's extended network...haven't figured out what that means. You can add absolutely anyone you want! :) I got tons of "friends requests" and messages from random people but I mostly ignore them unless I find them interesting enough. You can do a search for people in your area, just click "browse" at the top of the screen and you can seach for a certain demographic in your area.

hehe, hi lsu... how do u let u know who i am?  i don't think i have u, unless u r a friend of andrea julia cuz she told me to add all her ST girls.  lmk what to do please!

hmm, i'm crystal... i gotta go check & make sure i requested u.  *runs off to check myspace*

Me neither!  At first, I thought it was because I had Tom as a friend and Tom is automatically listed as everyone's friend so therefore, everyone was in my network through him.  So, I deleted Tom thinking that I would be able to see who was connected and who wasn't, but it still said the same thing.  So, then I felt bad and invited Tom back.  That is what I like better about Friendster.  You can see how you are connected (some people you aren't connected to at all and some you can see the chain (for example, some guy writes to me.  Then I can click and see that he is a friend of a friend of Lola's, who I have as a friend). I hate that you can't do that with MySpace.
