How do I invite my friends to join MySpace?I signed up for MySpace after hearing so much about it, but I have to say that I'm not sure how to proceed. My biggest question: I want to invite some friends to join but I don't know how to do that. Can you show me how to do that, please? Actually, I'm surprised you're having a tough time of it. I don't think that MySpace is the best designed site on the net, but it's fairly straightforward to figure out how to get around nonetheless. To invite your friends to join the MySpace community, log in to your account and click on the Invite link on the top navbar: Now you'll be able to specify the email address of your friend or friends and enter an optional message: ![]() You can enter an address and no personalized message, in which case MySpace sends a long email to each address you've specified that includes a "Dave says..." (or your name, obviously) and a blank section, but otherwise it's a pretty good message: Dave is a member of MySpace and is inviting you to join. Dave Says: Join MySpace and you will instantly be connected to Dave, and to each of Dave's friends. » Create a Custom Profile If you want to prevent any invitation emails from MySpace members http://www1.myspace.com/misc/block.cfm?iid=E5CB1F33-4AC2-458B-B477-AA00B or send a single blank email with the subject line "BLOCK" to: mailto:privacy@myspace.com You can also block future invitations or direct any other inquiries MySpace.com 1223 Wilshire Blvd. 402, Santa Monica, CA 90403-5400 USA I told you it was a long message! As with any other social network, the best practice with MySpace is to specify a personalized message that lets your friend know what's going on in your words, not those of the corporation. It might look like this: "Dude, had a great time talking with you at the party last weekend and thought it'd be cool to hook you into my MySpace account. If you're cool with that, click on the link below and sign up. Hopefully I'll catch up with you at JC's this Friday too (you know about that party, right?) --R." Or, perhaps, something that doesn't make you sound like a 19yo surfer dude, whatever. :-) You can also keep track of your outstanding invitations by clicking on the view past invites, which will show you how you're doing recruiting people for your social networking site: ![]() It's a pretty straightforward tool, as you can see. That should get you going!

Hi Dave- nice site. Saw the query about adding friends to Myspace. I'm new to it as well, but my problem is learning how to invite people who are already IN myspace. Obviously, these are people I don't know, but some are in my 'extended network' and I would like them to, aherm, be my 'friends'. How do I do this? Cowboy said, on November 30, 2006 9:11 PM:

There seems to be a glich with the ability to send my invites to around 15 people when clicking on Send Invite. What is happening? I have tried it in Firefox 2.0, IE 7, reverted to IE 6 and tried it, with no change. HELP! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Tami said, on January 5, 2007 5:18 PM:
Here's a problem I had using this tool. I was bored, so I did an email search to see if my ex's g/f was on MySpace, and I ACCIDENTALLY sent her an INVITATION to join! Then, I couldn't unsend the invite! I have a private profile (friends only) and I really don't want her as one of my friends or to know that I was looking for her. It appears that she will AUTOMATICALLY be added as one of my friends if she accepts! UGH!!!! Any ideas on how I can keep her from finding out or adding me?! Amanda said, on January 22, 2007 11:10 PM:
