What can I do with my 'friends' on HCW?

[mama22qts]

Is there a way to send a mass PM to just them? Or a group of them? I love having lots of friends but I'm not up on Myspace stuff and I don't know what to do with a lot of this stuff.

Also, how integrated is this with the other social networking sites?

[mama22qts]

Anyone know the answers?

I'm as lost as you are!! I've never been to MySpace. (I don't think they let 50 year old ladies on there!! LOL!)

I'm actually a little embarrassed when I go to a profile, and see a conversation between two people. I feel like I'm eavesdropping!!

:wavehi:I don't have your answer but I was also wondering. Is there a thread we are missing for ?'s about all the new features? I'm not groovin' on the lack of privacy now. But I'll get over it pretty quick.:wink7:

[lmcconne]

Yeah, I don't understand people requesting the "friend" relationship. Can somebody explain what that entails?

Yep... 50 year old ladies can be on MySpace...:hysterical: My daughters made me sign up.. lol

Don't feel bad. I'm 28 and I don't do any of those social networking sites. I am very interested to know how the 'friend' thing works here too. What is the advantage? Can anyone enlighten us? :question8:

[derketchup]

I'm not sure what you can do with your friends here, but I can tell you what you can't do with us.

I mean, don't call me at 3 o'clock in the morning if you need bailed out of jail... :whistle:

It's not integratable with other social networking sites, it's an internal thing for HCW. We're still learning about all the features as well and I was never much of a myspace person to begin with.

Can we call you at 3 a.m. if we find a killer deal, Der? :hysterical:

Only if you're RAOK'ing me coupons to go with it, too! :giggle2:

There goes that idea. :wink7:

You're friends are listed on your profile page:
an easy way to get to them, without having to search. There aren't many things that you can do with it, but if there is someone you wanna contact, you don't have to search for them, they're on your profile page.

The messaging on your profile page:
quick way to say something, that IS NOT private. Perhaps you want everyone to know what a wonderful person they are??

I can't see posting something on the visitor page, as most stuff between people tends to be private (trades, questions etc) so it's more for "hi" kinda stuff... or "check this thread out" maybe?

I really don't know any more than this, just guesses!! LOL but it's kinda cool!

[SchwoomsMom]

Besides that... I like showing off my friends!!! I don't know about ya'll, but with my disabilities, all my friends are on HCW, and I love every one of them, so being able to show them off and have their avatar's on my profile page, well, it's kinda cool!!

But, as any great feature, this will probably die down shortly, like the repping thing did! LOL

[Mikki 316]

I think it's like a popularity contest kinda thing. So........who's gonna be the prom queen?????? :hd1:

Repping died? Oh No!!!! I'm so sad. But I'll rep you for letting me know about the demise of Rep :hysterical:

This is could actually be a very useful tool. I use to use the Buddy list. There I marked all the members who are Mods, Supers Or Admin. Now with the new system you have 2 choices: Friend or Contact. I use the Friends area to mark the Mods, Admin & Supers & the Contacts I use to mark people I trade with, etc. I would have liked to do it the other way around but it didn't happen quite like that so I'm going with the way it is now. Also if you click "Quick Links" there is a drop down choice that says "Contacts & Friends" to eliminate having to go to the User CP. Helpful to me but may not be to others. I guess it all boils down to what works for one may not work for another. :smile:

[SchwoomsMom]

Yeah, but what happens when someone you don't know want's to be your friend? If you "reject" them, do they see "REJECTED" sorry, they don't want to be your friend!!
LOL

[austinmomto2]

LOL

So that's why you accepted me as your friend-you didn't want to hurt my feelings :biggrin::giggle2:

[mars1990]

Could some one explain to me the difference between contact and friend? I got a friend request from some one who has never posted on here. And I accecpted it. :loser3: Now, I'm second gussing myself? Should they go to the reject pile? And will they know it???? :emb100:

[Roseannnadanna2]

I didn't even know you could befriend anyone here. I guess I don't have any, lol. That's okay, I have over 200 on Myspace and I'm over 50! =)
