How do I get friends on Yahoo360?

Question

And how do I make my profile look cute?

Answer 1

At the top of your 360 space is a "Search" link. You can find blogs that skew toward what you're looking for there. You can search for people via nickname, keywords, and location. You can search by real name and e-mail addresses only if the person has enabled that option. That page and also your "Home" page lists "Interesting Pages" as well.

Also, click on the Answers categories on the left and go to those sections that interest you. Scope out people answering questions on those topics, then click on their avatar and check out 360 profile, if they have it listed.

If you find anyone you like (anywhere), then click on the "Add" link under their picture on their 360 page and add them as a "Favorite". You can always take them off your Favorites list (which is private) later. Send them a message and/or leave a comment (if allowed) , introduce yourself, get a conversation going, and then see if they want to add you as well by sending a legitimate invitation (to be fully connected as a friend).

You can do the same by joining Yahoo! Groups. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com , to see where you might want to meet new people. A group to check out is the Y-360 Friends group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-360... .

Also, make sure to check out the "friends" of any new friends that you make. They may be cool to invite too.

MORE INVITATION DETAILS:

- Either use the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... . This feature is MAINLY for inviting people who are already in your Yahoo! Mail address book OR your Yahoo! Messenger buddy list.

- Or go to a friend's page and click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation.

- Or you may also see 360 invitation-related links in other Yahoo services, like Yahoo! Groups.

In all cases, the person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module. Only Yahoo! 360 enabled Yahoo accounts will work for this.
