Myspace For Dummies

Myspace For Dummies Second Edition 2009 

About This eBook

We’ll be honest with you — we’re shocked that you’re reading this introduction.

Reading from start to finish isn’t what this book, or any For Dummies

book, is about. In fact, if all you do is pick up the book when you need to

know something about MySpace, find your topic in the Table of Contents or

Index, read the page or two that covers that topic, and put your book back

down to gather dust until the next time you need it, we have done our job.

Yay us!!!

We don’t expect you to become an instant MySpace guru with a half-million

friends and the most tricked-out profile page on the site after using this book

a couple times. We don’t expect you to be able to spout off lectures on the

minutiae of MySpace’s programming code. We’ve kept this book simple so

you can get the info you need without a computer science degree.

How This Book Is Organized

We keep promising that this book is set up so you can use only the pieces

you need to get the results you want. Well, the first step in this process is

dividing all the info into parts that cover the big topics on MySpace. Where

you choose to start reading depends on whether you’re a complete MySpace

newbie (in which case, welcome!), a current member who wants to pump up

your page, or a professional looking to use MySpace as a way to get the word

about your business or talent out to a lot of people. Here’s how we’ve organized

the parts of our book.

Part I: MySpace Overview and Basics

This is the part you need to turn to if you’re just getting started with

MySpace. We cover the basics of what you can do on the MySpace site, how

to get signed up with an account, how to set up your profile with the information

you want to share with other MySpace users, and how to stay safe and

secure when using MySpace.

Part II: The MySpace Community

The main goal of MySpace is pretty simple: putting users in contact with

each other. This part covers the main tools for making those contacts. We

take a look at how to find friends, add friends to your MySpace profile, and

stay in touch with those friends via e-mail messages, bulletins, and profile

comments. We also cover keeping a Web log — that’s what a blog is if you’re

visiting from another planet and haven’t heard of ’em — on your MySpace

page. This part shares guidance on using MySpace’s calendar, event invitations,

and forums, and on creating or joining groups. We also show how you

can keep up with your MySpace account on a mobile phone.

Part III: Customizing MySpace

MySpace allows users to decorate profile pages with photos, video, and

music tracks posted by the musical artists who have also made a home on

MySpace (which makes perfect sense — after all, musicians started it). Truly

bold users can even dig into the programming code that runs MySpace to

change the colors, layout, and background image they use for their pages.

This part walks you through the steps needed to change your MySpace page

into something unique.

Part IV: Capturing Your Audience

With millions of users logging on to MySpace every day, the site’s become

a great way for musicians, filmmakers, comedians, and authors to share

their works. Also, with millions of eyes on the site, marketers have turned to

MySpace to get the word out about movie releases, television premieres, club

events, product availability, and just about every other type of sellable stuff

you can think of. This part shows how to use the tools to show off your own

talents on MySpace — as well as some ideas on how to get more eyes on your

stuff.

Part V: The Part of Tens

In the great tradition of the For Dummies series, we close MySpace For

Dummies, 2nd Edition, with the Part of Tens. Here you find a few chapters

that break down some key points about MySpace into short, easy-to-read sections.

We also share some insight that didn’t quite fit anywhere else in the

book. Flip to this section to read about other Web sites similar to MySpace,

a few places you can go for help with your MySpace page, or quick tips on

MySpace safety.
