Are you one of those members at the social sites that just sit there waiting for people to come to you? Would you classify yourself as an introvert? You can’t make friends that way! Click on some of those links in the menu and take a tour of the site.
A good place for you to go would be the forum. There’s always lots of interesting topics that you can join in on. Find something that interests you and leave a comment.
If you have a passion for sci-fi, art, sports, auto mechanics or even cooking, there is usually a forum that has some great conversation going.
You joined the site to meet new friends so hop to it!
Once you feel comfortable with just leaving a few posts, I suggest joining a group or two and posting a few topics that will interest the group. One topic that always works well would start out, “Did you know …..”
You can always visit the area for videos and watch a few. I’ve found some rather amazing videos at some of the sites and just had to leave a comment or rate the video. Don’t be surprises if you get a response back from the member that posted it!
If you are at the social site to advertise something like a few survey programs that you’re in, please don’t over do it with the comments or you will be deleted from the site. That is a constant problem at Myspace.com. I’ve seen a lot of college students get deleted from the site because they start spamming their friends. It’s always the same information with a different link in the comment.
I recently added a new friend that is obviously in that situation and sent the individual an email letting them know about the spamming situation there. I warned the person to be careful with their advertising. Since then, I have received numerous comments from that same individual. Some people just don’t want to listen! I’m sure they will be removed within the next week or two at the rate they are going.
