Myspace Accounts
Your account
When I started an account in Myspace, I got my first friend, Tom Anderson, one of the founders of MySpace. By surfing the site I then found and added more friends. Once on MySpace, its easy to build a profile, upload photos, send messages, check out friends' profiles and comment on them. Checking messages and getting comments is what brings people back to MySpace every day.
When MySpace was first introduced, skeptics thought that it would be just another fad because previous sites like Friendster had crashed. But MySpace's messaging is better suited for all kinds messaging needs. You can send messages directly to friends' profiles and check whether or not your friends have logged in and received their email. MySpace is also set up so that you can IM anyone anywhere.
Myspace Access
Many people access MySpace at least once a day or whenever computer access is possible. If you have a computer at home, you can keep MySpace opened while doing homework or talking on instant messenger. In schools where it is not banned or blocked, people check MySpace during passing period, lunch, study hall and before/after school. This is particularly important for those who don't have computer access at home.
For most people, it is simply a part of everyday life – they are there because their friends are there and they are there to hang out with those friends. That does not mean that everyone thinks it is cool. Some complain that the site is lame, saying that they have better things to do. But, even those ones have an account they check all the time, because it's the only way to find out whats going on.
A Portfolio is a folder which can be divided into categories. You can create and name as many portfolios as you like. The name of the portfolio is termed a Heading.
Setting Up Categories
A Category is a section within a MySpace Portfolio. You can create and name as many sections within a MySpace Portfolio as you like. The name of the category is termed a Sub-heading. An Item is equivalent to a Bookmark in Netscape or a Favourite in Internet Explorer. You can save and name as many Items as you like. The system saves the url of the relevant page ? which may contain a specific item, or a page of search results.
Registration
The above tree structure allows you to organise book-marked items in your own logically organised bookmark structure. Before you can use the service you will need to agree formally to abide by the CAN Terms & Conditions, and also register a username/ password. When your registration is confirmed you will receive an email at the address supplied.
In the future, you will be required to login to My Space using the username and password you supplied on registration. Some MySpace functions allow you to be able to create profiles, administer profiles (change titles and order of items), add and delete items for a profile, Copy Items from one MySpace profiles to another, publish profile on the CAN portal, or even Email Portfolios to your friends and colleagues.
Personally, I find it's good to have a MySpace address. Where the people who know what you want to show,(and like it) can find you (at your leasure) Without too much bother. So it seems that activities in controlled spaces like MySpace are on the rise, A good place to simply chill without pressure amongst interesting friends.
