Answer 4

UPDATED:

Danielle, first, I have to warn you that invitations are not working for many people. Some users are not receiving them, likely due to a lag in the 360 server. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6f...  for more information on 360 glitches.

So, you may have problems connecting as friends with people right now. You can add people as Favorites instead (making sure the "Invite as a Friend" option isn't selected when using the "Add" link on 360 spaces). Then, you'll only be able to use the "Public" features on 360 spaces (and vice versa).

You make a friend by being a friend to others. Treat others as you like to be treated, and you'll do fine in this area.

Here are other strategies for not only making friends, but also encouraging consistent communication:

1. Connect with other users (i.e. social networking)

- In 360, you can find people with similar interests via the Search page. You can also find people via Y/A profiles. Yahoo! Groups also has a link for adding people to 360 spaces.

- Finding "active" users is key to a great Y!360 experience. Try to connect with people who have a decent amount of content about themselves on their Y!360 (which means you should have the same on yours), people who comment on their friends pages, people who update their blogs often.

- Be active yourself. Visit other blogs and develop online relationships with others.

- Open up your comment areas to the public:

See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha... for Top Page comments. Click "My Blog" and the "Edit Blog Settings" at to adjust permissions for blog comments. You can always change permissions to be more restricted whenever you want.

2. Promote your space or blog

- Wherever you can, you should put a link to your blog. Your profiles, your signature in personal e-mails, and etc. You should do this without spamming sites and people though. Send a link to your 360 space to all your contacts (friends and family) and encourage them to pass it on.

3. Make the blog easy to find

- If possible, make the URL address easy to find and remember. In Y!360, you can create a simple URL for that purpose. It shortens the web address so that it's easy to remember.

- Some services have RSS-capabilities. You can make your blog have a RSS button, enabling people to add it to their browser or newsreader's RSS list. RSS stands for real simple syndication, which allows users to see your blog in an aggregated form and not actually have to visit it. See more information here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/blo... and

http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/ . RSS in Y!360 only works with "Public" blogs. Although, I have to note that the RSS features in 360 are often unreliable.

4. Last but certainly not least: Consistently post interesting content

- Mainly, the blog should be authentic. Your thoughts, your creative background, your interests - there's only one "you," so be expressive! I know, that's corny, but it's true.

- Keep it updated.

- Theme... is your blog a commentary on the latest news? Is it a diatribe about activities in your daily life? Is it only about your pet's quirks? A theme isn't necessary, but a purpose helps. Now, if you just want to write anything that comes to mind, well, try to make it sound like an interesting read.

- A sense of fun - humor always helps.

Answer 5

Go make friends in real life and invite them to be your on-line friend too.

Answer 6

There is no good way because you will never get to know them from an internet page.  If you want to make friends you must do it in person.
