  • How come I have preloaded friends on MySpace?

How come I have preloaded friends on MySpace?

March 23, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Twitter Help / 5 Comments

This is just deeply troubling: I finally succumbed to the never-ending harassment of my pals and have signed up for a MySpace account, but as soon as I signed in, the system tells me that I have a friend already linked to me named “Tom”? Who the heck is Tom and why is he listed as my friend?

That’s very funny – I have Tom listed as a friend on my MySpace account too! Check it out:

MySpace: Tom is my default friend?

If you click on Tom’s kinda dorky picture, you’ll find that he’s actually part of the MySpace team and you can send him messages if you have questions about the service (though MySpace has a pretty nice FAQ area too). This explains why he has a staggering 65,111,625 friends. Makes me wonder how the heck he manages around the holidays when he wants to send out his best wishes (the answer, of course, is that he uses MySpace to broadcast to everyone at once, I know)
If you want to drop Tom as a friend, I’m sure his feelings won’t be hurt. You can do that by clicking on Edit Friends just above Tom’s picture. Then you’ll see this:
MySpace: When someone's off your list, you can delete them as a friend on MySpace too

Yes, you can delete friends if they get you mad. 🙂
Actually, while this is a rather rudimentary interface, it’s pretty straightforward too: click on the box next to the ill fated Tom then click no the “Delete Selected” button on the bottom.
Then you can work on adding your real friends to your MySpace account, which is far more fun anyway.
Hope that helps clear up this confusion.

    Dave ~
    I just signed up on Myspace (I’m 62 Yr old) I keep getting unsolicited requests to be friends from young girls from CHINA! Are they all really from China.. they all seem to have a standard form letter type print up on their profile… Who are these girls and are they for real?? Someone said CHINA stood for Computer Hackers In North America…. I get 15 to 20 of these requests daily and just wondered what the hell is going on with them… Thank you, Bill

    D, I don’t know of any way to back up and “change your mind”, sorry to say, but you can edit your friends by clicking on the ‘Edit’ button just above your display of friends on your profile…
