How to Keep Your Myspace Friends

Many people like to have friends on Myspace. However, these friends are sometimes neglected. It may be possible to talk to real-life friends every few months or so. However, that behavior is not going to work in cyberspace. If you do not interact with your Myspace friends, they may not stay around for long. One day, you may see profiles disappear from your Myspace friend's list. This guide will show you how to keep them.

Send a happy birthday message and comments
Mostly everyone loves to be recognized on their birthday and other special occasions. This can be taken advantage of in order to keep your Myspace friends. It only takes a few seconds to send a message or comment wishing someone a happy birthday. There are usually notices sent in advance when you log into your profile on Myspace. These notices will enable you to keep certain friends in mind for the next few days. The birthday notices that are sent on Myspace can come in very handy. Some people will reciprocate and post a nice comment on your page.

Birthday messages and comments are great for people who do not have a lot of time to spend on Myspace, but want to keep in contact with their friends. Many people on Myspace do not want to just be on your list for the sake of boosting your collection of friends. They want to be social because that is what Myspace is all about. Sending a birthday message or comment will let those on your friend's list know that you are interacting with them. This will indicate that you are not a fake friend. It may not sound like a big deal, but small gestures can go a long way when it comes to keeping your Myspace friends.

Inquire about recent events
I used this year's superbowl to keep in touch with some of my friend's on Myspace. These friend's were selected specifically based on either their location, interests or the fact that I haven't spoken to them in a long time. Recent events are a great way to keep your Myspace friends. This can come in handy if you have hundreds of people on your friend's list. It can be difficult to stay in contact with hundreds of Myspace friends on a daily basis. There are people on Myspace that have over one thousands friends.

It may not be necessary for random citizens to have thousands of friends on Myspace. However, if you are in a band, film production or non-profit organization, it is important to get all of the support that is possible. Myspace friends come in handy when you need votes to win awards or someone to check out your latest work. When picking recent events, make sure that it has national appeal. The cop who was fired in your town may not be of interest to your Myspace friends who are located in other parts of the country. Try to talk about a recent sporting event, music artist, television show or movie. You can get some dialogue going by asking them what their thoughts are.

Say more than hello
Most people on Myspace have comments that include variations of "Thanks for adding me" and "I came by to say hi" in their profiles. While these are nice comments, there is much more that can be said. In fact, stopping by just to say hello will soon become a waste of time and space for your Myspace friend's profile. Instead, offer a joke or link to a new video that you found. This is especially worthwhile if you have posted multiple comments on your Myspace friend's page over time.

The average "Thanks for the add" and "Just stopped by to say hi" gets stale after a while. I have used famous quotes and other statements in the comments section of some of my friend's profiles on Myspace. Doing so has allowed me to move beyond a general greeting and offer something positive for my Myspace friends to read during the next visit to their page. If you want to maintain friends on Myspace, it is vital to interact with them in some way. This is the only approach that will help to keep your Myspace friends.
