ADD ME, I DONT REJECT ANYONE.
Before social networking sites like hi5 started, we had to pay us$ 19 per month to just know people and check out their interests and some of their introductory photos, in those sites we could comment, show interest, show crush, send mail etc.,
Since the beginning hi5 has a nice structure, if you do not understand or experiment with the
commands(options) present on the site you will be stuck without activity, all these social sites
are based on the SCRIPT structures of act and react.
Act and react means, you will have to do something, start adding people to friends, it is simple
click any user name, you will land on their profile page, there you have right below the photo
of the user ADD AS FRIEND. Once you click this button, you get a reconfirmation button add or
cancel, this is just a last minute change of heart option.
If the user see your friend request when they log in and they give approval to your request you
can communicate, send mails, tag their photos, share videos, share photos and there are many
number of activities you can do, like write in their scrap book, add journal entries, read their
entries etc.,
Let me inform you, in order to use this site successfully, you must have good awareness of
English and better etiquette, that is most important because the users you will find here do not
indulge in crude greetings or bad taste messages, there are users from all over Romania, Israel
USA, England, Portugal, Spain, French, The Netherlands, Japan, Thailand, you wish to make friends with any part of the world you can do it on hi5.
One more general definition before I start explaining structure of the site face book and
friendster and even other sites like orkut, tend to put you inside a BOX like REGION, there is no requirement of defining region on hi5 or myspace, that is the reason these 2 sites haves more than 50 million registered users, this is as per the page hit counters last read. Myspce has probably more users.
Now it is time to give you a little structure details.
Free registration, no banner pop ups or ads on this site, one big relief, login and you land on
home page links are:
are you friends already on hi5(click this to invite everyone in your yahoo address book)
and this script will access other address books you have like Google, orkut etc., you can also enter manually emails of your friends and invite them to join your list.
*profile visitors
requests
notifications(notifications are of game applications which are very cute and happy time pass)
birthdays
online now
status
*CENTRE OF THE HOME PAGE YOU HAVE LISTED ALL THE RECENT ACTIVITIES OF YOUR FRIENDS WHO ADDED NEW FRIENDS, WHO UPDATED THEIR STATUS, WHO ADDED NEW PHOTOS OR ALBUMS, OR VIDEOS ETC.,
EXTREME RIGHT OF YOUR HOME PAGE, YOU HAVE(APPLICATIONS) MENU, Browse Gallery, Manage applications
under this menu, you can add lot of time pass small applications like: Vampires, Slayers, Zombies Werewolves, Kiss, Buzz friends, Stickers, there are over 300 applications some are games, some are creative, some are pimping the profile etc., you can experiment with each, it will take you 1 year of your time to check out everything available.
-
Next page you need to check out regularly is MY PROFILE page. Clicking here
will land you on your profile page, the OPTIONS are as follows:
*profile
photos,
videos
scrapbook
journal
groups
favorites
applications
*THESE COMMANDS ARE SELF EXPLAINATORY. Under each command you will go to its page and do whatever you want, they have Video uploads too, you can upload your own to showoff to others.
MUSIC SYSTEM and VIDEO SYSTEMS of hi5 are on par with YOUTUBE and other best sites.
Photo galleries are on PAR with PICASA and PHOTOBUCKET and other best sites.
There is almost no limit to uploads you can have many hundreds of albums and photos.
you can have standard photo descriptions, captions and many options for each photos. The gallery
is visible to your friends you can restrict access if you want, but most users like to have
people comment on their photos, some restrict comments to APPROVAL others leave the option open, once you comment, it appears right under the photos. You can also leave profile comments for anyone provided the user left the comments pre approved or needs approval.
There are many sites on the internet which give you ready made hi5 jazzy comments, I saw many
animated comments, some are funny, some are creative, some are attractive, there is loads of
variety.
My profile page, you can keep adding your details, new galleries, applications, all these things
appear on my profile page, there is one nice game called: OWN YOUR FRIENDS, this game lets you buy friends or anyone and sell them for profit and soon you will have lots of dollars to enjoy
this game, in order to familiarize yourself with GAME RULES you will have to read its help menu.
This is true of even your mobile games.
You can delete friends from VIEW ALL YOUR FRIENDS menu, under photo of each friends you get 4 icons, the meaning of the icon is self explanatory, but for more clarity, each icon has meanings
like send message, give comment, give hi5(a friendly medal) delete, this option has DUSTBIN as
icon.
So what more do you want, you can add anyone, delete anyone, go to chat rooms( I never go there) write journals, write scrapbook, write in others scrapbook, send messages, give photo comments give profile comments, upload pics, upload videos etc.,
There are PIMPING UP THE PROFILE also an option I do not use, but some people have decorated their profiles with very jazzy art works and looks very attractive, but I don't use it because this makes the page heavy in loading
Now come to the members here, you have loads of funny people, helpful people, snotty people,
creative people, talkative people and beautiful people, there are some people who enjoy posting
nudes, this is edited by management whenever they can, some profiles if you click, you will get
a message this profile is not accessible, it is because they were deleted because of their
activities. Any site with this vast storage servers and this many scripts working and managing
everyday traffic will have its downs too. You tell me, I don't have time to notice or understand
the downs of anything, my sight is always on ups, ups and ups, the stars and heavens.
Yo! social networking can be fun and easy and educative!
