New to the Web—MySpace IM Features
If you are between the ages of about 12 and 25, chances are that you have a MySpace account and a personalized website that reflects your unique interests. MySpace is the ultimate in online social networking for teens and college students. This site allows each user to make their own site, fill it with personal pictures, blogs, photos, music and video and share it with the world. In addition, MySpace users are treated to a wide variety of MySpace site features. If you are new to the web and new to MySpace, here is a run down of some of the most popular MySpace features, including the most popular feature, IM (or instant messaging).
There are many features that you can add to your MySpace site once you have set up your account and started building your page. One of the most popular features that you can add to your site is called IM, or otherwise called, instant messaging. If you are new to the web, you may not know a lot about IM features, but once you learn what it can do for you, you most certainly will be hooked.
Many Internet sites can offer you the use of IM features. For the most part, all you will need to do is to sign up for an account and get your friends to sign up for an account, too. Then you will have the ability to locate your friends and family each time you and they are online at the same time. You can send them a message and they can respond in real time. Talk about fun! The best thing about IM is that you can stay visible to everyone or you can “hide” your identity when you want to be left alone or when you only want to chat with certain people. You can also choose pictures, sounds and maybe even video to go along with your IM sessions.
MySpace is one such site that features an IM option. MySpaceIM is the current MySpace IM server and is available to any MySpace user. Here are some other MySpace IM options that will have you singing the praises and ready to sign up today:
With MySpace IM, you have the ability to instant message all MySpace users. All you need is their user name and you can contact your friends each time he or she is online at the same time you are.
Import ability is another popular MySpace instant message feature that users enjoy. This means that when you make friends on MySpace, you can import (or move) your friend list directly from your MySpace to your contact list for your instant message. This saves you time entering and typing user names.
With MySpace instant message features, you also can opt to get instant alerts for all of your incoming messages, new comments and requests while you are online. That means that whenever you are online, your instant message will pop up and let you know when someone has left comments for you on your MySpace site.
When you use MySpace IM, you can also get handy shortcuts to other people’s features and their profiles. This makes it easy for you to find the information that you need without spending a lot time searching.
Another very popular MySpace instant message feature is a unique integrated music player that works with your instant messaging. With this option, you have the ability to listen to your friend’s profile songs each time he or she gets online, or whenever the mood strikes you.
MySpace instant messaging is also fun. You can change how your instant message looks by having it look like a traditional instant message box at the bottom of your computer screen or you can add pictures that you like and even cartoons. MySpace IM also offers you “skinnable” interfacing, which means you can change the look of your instant message box to fit your personality at any time.
