Now that I have a few dozen of my friends connected to me on myspace, how do I easily send them all messages about stuff that’s going on in my life? Is there some sort of mail capability I can’t find?
Actually, in the MySpace world, email is really designed for one-to-one communication. If you want to send a message to all your friends then you should be using a MySpace Bulletin, which is easier to do than it sounds! 🙂
Down the left side is your “My Mail” section:
Click on “post bulletin” and you’ll see a simple input form:
I strongly suggest that you have a descriptive and informative title to your bulletin, because your friends will only see that unless they’re sufficiently interested to click through and read the rest of the bulletin message.
Once you’ve clicked on “Post” you’ll actually be shown the bulletin a second time and asked to confirm that you really do want to send the specified bulletin to all of your friends. Finally, you’ll get this:
That’s all there is to it. Now your few dozen closest [MySpace] friends will have a copy of your bulletin in their bulletins list, and hopefully at least some of ’em will read it!
Here are two more useful MySpace links for you to check out too:

- MySpace Help: dozens of articles on how to get the most out of MySpace.
I still don’t see my Mail section, I see the inbox and you can email to as many people as you want. But is there a easier way, then going into your inbox, and putting the first letter of everybody name, until their name pops up and then doing that for each friend, puting in t, then s, then l, that would get tiresome do that. In FaceBook you make a friends list and then send to all your friends in that list. I guess MySpace in behind times. Let me know where the MY Mail Section is, Because I don’t see it. I see the Inbox, Friends, But not MY Mail or Bulletins.
Let me know,
Thanks,

you can send personal messages to more than one friend at a time. but i was wondering if you can send one to every single one of your friends at the same time.
because I get messages from really famous bands and i know they didn’t just send a message to me, so i was wondering how they did it.
@Kinglifer yeah your right. You have to be a sprnch member and you hit invite and select myspace. there you can broadcast to all your friends. It works for like a zillion other sites too. It will attach that its from sprnch but the message does get out.

is this updated? I saw something like this on sprnch.com as well. Not the same name though
hi edith i am trying to see if i could send messages to mymyspace
Dave,
I agree with Kimberly Oct 25 2006.
We want choices. With a bulletin you get hundreds of bulletins a day. Some people over use bulletins. Sending cutsey things or warnings of scams, etc etc. Much like regular email, we are spammed to death with bulletins because they are sent by all our friends on myspace. And are viewed by all on myspace. What I’d like to know is how I can send a simple message to a mass number of friends and be able to eliminate some friends who I don’t want the message to get to. I want to be able to choose to block certain friend s from sending certain messages too. Bulletins go to all friends on your list. What if I want to send my address to a dozen of my friends but don’t know some of my other friends well enough to do that? Or I want to make an announcement for only my close friends, but don’t want to waste the time going to each of their sites to post a personal message. My time is limited. I’d like to be more personal, but time is an issue for most of us these days. Hardly anyone reads there emails anymore because they are too busy on Myspace sending messages or comments and don’t have the time to sift through the spam to get to the real messages. I say if we want a better product, the thing everyone needs to do is go to Myspace and flood Toms email asking for a more convenient feature. Heck, I’d pay a few bucks a year to have it added to my site. If the feature was totally convenient with all the whistles and bells. And I don’t want my friends to have to pay to read my comments like some sites do.
if anybody gets to learn how to send a message to all the friends added to the profile in 1 email 4 all 4 example please show me!!!
thx
Agreed completely. I didn’t say that it was a good way to send out messages: the spammers have killed that for everyone. Nonetheless, if someone asks me how to do it, I’ll help out. 🙂
This is of no use at all. Dave Taylor, join the 21st Century and realise that pushing bulletins out achieves nothing. Even your loneliest MySpace account holders will have in excess of 50 friends, each of which post bulletins all over the place. NOBODY READS BULLETINS ANY MORE!
i have one question. it is not a bulletin but how do i message all of my friends so that they will read what i want to tell them but not sending a bulletin
I suspect that most people know about the bulletin function. I also suspect that most people don’t read bulletins. Some advice on how to do true broadcast email would be excellent. Perhaps some third-party scripts?
Just wondering if dropping a few lines on the web to some people (maybe trying to make some friends) and getting some in return would cost me anything. Is that considered a blog or a site? What would you call it? Thanks,
Kimberly
