 MySpace is a social networking website based in West Hollywood, California offering an interactive, user-submitted network of blogs, profiles, groups, photos, MP3s, videos, and an internal e-mail system. According to Alexa Internet, as of August 2006, it is the world's fourth most popular English-language website and the sixth most popular in any language. It is the most popular website in the United States, accounting for 4.5% of all website visits (note it is possible that other sites have a greater number of unique visitors). MySpace has gradually gained more popularity than similar websites such as Facebook, Bebo, Friendster, Xanga, MyYearbook, FriendsReunited.co.uk, Classmates.com and LiveJournal to achieve 80 percent of visits to online social networking websites. It has become an increasingly influential part of contemporary pop culture, especially in the Anglosphere. MySpace has 300 employees, is owned by Newscorp, and does not disclose revenues or profits. MySpace currently reports just over 100 million members, with the 100,000,000th member signing up on August 9, 2006.
The creators of MySpace have hosted many parties in Hollywood, San Diego, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, New York City, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Hawaii, and McAllen, Texas to support the site. The headquarters is in Los Angeles, but the parent company is headquartered in New York City. MySpace is also home to various independent musicians, independent filmmakers, and up and coming comedians who upload songs, short films, and other work directly onto their profile. These songs and films can also be embedded in other profiles, an interconnectedness which adds to MySpace's appeal for musicians, filmmakers and comedians alike. Because of the high popularity, mainstream musicians filmmakers, and comedians alike have continued this trend as well Contents of a MySpace profile Each profile contains two standard "blurbs": "About Me" and "Who I'd Like to Meet" sections.

Horoscopes
The horoscope is used to associate properties of a sign with the properties of planets positioned in that sign. The planet is said to influence events on Earth but the way in which it does this is modified by the influence of the sign in which it is positioned. Find out anything and everything about your astrological sign on MySpace Horoscopes. 
You can get your daily horoscope or find out your daily number. MySpace also gives you your daily Tarot card which is defined as any of a set of 22 playing cards bearing allegorical representations, used for fortunetelling and as trump cards in tarot. Use the compatibility meter which is used to compare two like items, to check your chemistry in love, friendships or business.
There is also a section called Deeper look which dives in a little deeper in the compatibility between two signs. Usually the featured sign (Whatever month it is) is matched up with another sign. Cosmic guidance is advertisements from psychics on various subjects. Click on a link and it will bring you to a separate page. MySpaceIM Compliment your MySpace experience with the MySpaceIM client.

Browsing
MySpace has a Browse Users option. Here you can place a search for other users based on their age, location, interests and other general information they provide. You may also perform an Advanced Search where you can get into details about the people you want to search for such as personal information, background and lifestyle. You can choose to sort your search results by last login, New to MySpace, or distance. Let’s go through this step by step.
1. Choose whether you want a basic or advanced search. For now lets do basic.
2. Select whether you are browsing for women, men or both men and women.
3. Select the age range for your search. You can search for people between the ages of 18 and 99.
4. Select whether or not to search for users who are In a Relationship, Single, Swinger, Married, Divorced. You can select more than one of these options.
5. Choose whether they are here for Dating, Networking, Relationships or Friends. Again, you can choose more than one option.
6. Choose where they are located. Enter in a postal code and select the distance for your search.

9. Once you have entered all the information you would like included in the search, click on ‘update’ and your search results will be displayed below.
The results of your search will then be listed in the area below. They will be sorted depending on the selection you made. You can then click on their username or photo to view his/her profile.

Search
You can search for anything you like on MySpace. There is a general search for anything. You can choose to search the site for your terms, search blogs, general interest, music interest, movies interest, books interest or the web. Located to the right you will see a list of the most popular searches. If you think that one of your friends might be on MySpace, you can do a friend search for them. Choose Name, Display Name or email address and type in their information and click search.
Want to find classmates? Not a problem, with MySpace’s classmate finder just type in the school name, country, and state and MySpace will pull up anyone who is affiliated with that school. You may also search for affiliations as well. Just use the pull down to select the field, sub-field and role.
Invite
Why keep all the fun to yourself? If you have friends or family out there you can keep in touch with them easily through MySpace. This allows you to send an eCard to any friend or family member you may have, including links and instructions on how to sign up. There is even a feature that allows you to import your address book from all the major email carriers. Be sure to separate multiple addresses with commas.

MySpace Comment Boxes
Comment boxes allow your friends to post their comments on your profile. Usually,

friends by placing a comment box at the top of your profile thereby eliminating
the need to click the ‘Post a Comment’ link? You can find a number
of comment box generators on a number of websites, but the best of the best

MySpace Images
The images form the most important
part of any webpage. Same goes for your MySpace profile page. When you create
your profile manually or with the various profile editors discussed above, you
will need a place to store your images. The images can then be inserted into
your profile code (html). Now there are two ways to go about it. The first way
is to use image and photo hosting websites that provide you a place to host
your images and you can use the URL to your images in your profile code. These
websites also provide the complete code to be placed in comment boxes of your
friends as well.
The other way is relatively new but is gaining a lot of popularity pretty fast.
There are some websites that provide you with innovative image hosting solutions
like animated slideshows of all your images. You can also apply a number of
unique transitions to these slideshows. However these websites don’t give you
the direct links to your individual images. But there are always a few exceptions!
If you come across a really nice picture on the internet, then you can just
right-click the picture and choose ‘Copy image location’ (Netscape/Firefox)
or choose ‘Properties’ (IE) option to get the picture URL. However, you must
not forget to quote the source if it is a copyrighted picture. You will know
more about the importance of image URLs in the topics to follow.
A simple way to change your MySpace
profile background is as follows:-
1. Login to your MySpace Profile and click on 'Edit Profile'.
2. Copy the following code to the ‘About Me:’ section of your profile:-
<style type="text/css">
body{background-image:url("IMG URL HERE");
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;}
table, tr, td {
background-color:transparent;
border: 0px;
padding:2;
}
</style>
Here, replace the “IMG URL HERE�
text with the URL to your image provided by the image hosting site of your choice.
You can learn more about placing images in your profile in the HTML Codes section
of this document.
Below is a list of traditional image/photo
hosting sites:-
I. PhotoBucket.com
http://photobucket.com
This is the most popular photo hosting
website. It is a mix of traditional and new photo/image hosting solutions. Photobucket
provides free video sharing too. You can easily host and link your images and
videos to social networks (good old MySpace), auction sites, blogs, and message
boards. Photobucket is reliable and very easy to use. You can even create albums
and slideshows of your photos. You can also take printouts of your photos. However,
you need to register for free to upload your photos and/or videos. But you are
also free to use the images uploaded by other users as well.
How to Install:
1. Login to your Photobucket account and upload your images.
2. Once your images have been uploaded, copy the URL of an image of your choice.
3. Follow the procedure described above to change the background of your MySpace profile.
4. Preview your Profile and Save All Changes.
*To place your choice of images in
comments or bulletins to your friends:-

etc.) you wish to see on your comment.

8. Right click and paste in the body of the bulletin.
II. APhotoHost.com
http://www.aphotohost.com
You need to sign up for an account
to begin hosting your images for MySpace. Aphotohost has an image manager to
organize your images into various folders. It also allows creating a image gallery,
slideshow and portfolio. The total amount of disk space for all of your images
is around 200MB. You can even check out the demo on the site before you decide
to register for free.
How to Install:
1. Login to your Aphotohost account and upload your images.
2. Once your images have been uploaded, copy the code or click on ‘Copy’ button
to copy the direct link to the image or the entire HTML code.
3. Follow the procedure described above to change the background of your MySpace
profile if you copied the direct link to the image. If you want to place the
image directly in your comments, then copy the entire HTML code and paste it
into the desired location.

and Save All Changes. If you placed an image in one of your comments to your
friends, then just submit it.
III. RockYou.com

background using the method described at the beginning of this section.
VI. Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/
Flickr is almost certainly the best
online photo management and sharing application in the world. Let us show you
why!
Flickr is a way to get your photos
to the people who matter to you. With Flickr you can:
Show off your favorite photos
to the world
Blog the photos you take with a camera phone
Securely and privately show photos to your friends and family around the world
... and much, much more!
Basically, Flickr is what butters the borders between your photos to the people
you want to see them. And basic accounts are free!
This is a good site but doesn’t go
very well with MySpace. But you can give it a try nonetheless. Use the methods
described above to place the images from Flickr on your MySpace page.

MySpace Super Top 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
You must have noticed that MySpace shows your friends in the order you added them by default. All of us have a number of friends but there are always those special friends who are closer to us than the rest…the friends we really adore. So, wouldn’t it be nice if we could sort our friends in our preferred order? And to top that wouldn’t it be great if you could show most of your friends on your profile page? Until recently MySpace didn’t allow you to sort your friends or show more than 8 friends on your profile page i.e., you had to click the ‘View All Friends’ link in order to see all the friends. But now, not only you can sort your top friends; you can display as much as 24 friends on your profile page.
[Note: You will need the Friend ID of your friends, the URL of the View All Friends/View All Comments link on your profile page and the URL of the pictures of your friends. Have a look at the MySpace Friend Id page in this document for information on how to find the Friend Ids. Just right click the links and choose Copy Shortcut or Copy Link Location to get the URLs. And for your friend pictures, just right-click the picture and choose ‘Copy image location’ (Netscape / Firefox) or choose ‘Properties’ (IE) option to get the picture URL.]
I. MySpace Super Top 8
http://www.myspace.com How to Install: 1. Login to your MySpace profile.
2. Click "Change my Top Friends" under your Friends Space.
3. In the upper left corner on the drop down menu, select top 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24. Then change your top friends! Just Drag-and-drop your buddies into the "Top Friends" area - the red squares. Browse through your friends as much as you like without losing your work -- save only when you're done!
4. You're done! It's very easy right?
II. R4WRGEN 2.0
http://r4wr.com/friends/ Created in July of 2005, r4wr.com was the first place ever to give people the option of having MORE than a top 8, even before MySpace let people change their top 8. Here, you can create a myriad of different friend space layouts, to find the one that suits your profile the best. The process is easy, just fill in the configuration options, and click the individual pictures in the second section to set up who you want to include on your friend space. Once you're completed, just click the "Get Code" button, and the code needed will be displayed for you to cut and paste into your profile. You can also edit your code later on. How to Install: 1. When you are done creating your top friends list, click on the ‘Get Code’
button to generate the code.
2. Copy the generated code.
3. Login to your MySpace profile and click on ‘Edit Profile’.
4. Paste the code at the very bottom of the ‘Who I’d like to meet’ section of your profile.
[Note: You MUST remove any unclosed table codes, this mostly includes codes that look like: </table></tr></td>, remove any codes that center or hide the friends and comments! It would be best if you simply remove all of the code in your "Who I'd Like To Meet". If you don't, your old friend's list will remain intact after you use this code.]

III. MySpaceFly Custom Friends Space
http://www.myspacefly.com/friends This generator will allow you to create a customized friend space for your MySpace profile. It was originally intended to help customize a person's top 8, long before MySpace gave users that feature. Some people now think of this tool as a top 12, 16, or even top 20 generator... even though you can choose as many or as few as you want (up to 40). All you have to do is fill in the options in the first section, then click on each individual picture in the second section and the generator will ask you about the details needed for the friend that you want to put there. You need to fill in all three boxes! If you need help with that part, there are little question marks that look like (?), next to the boxes. When finished, click the "Generate" button and it will give you the code you need to put in your profile. How to Install: 1. Copy the generated code.
2. Login to your MySpace profile and click on ‘Edit Profile’.
