The Whole Self-Portrait Deal at MySpace
from: Glenn CutforthA self-portrait is a portrait or picture of yourself that you create to interest other people in coming to visit your website at MySpace and hopefully it will draw them in enough so they'll be interested in meeting you online or getting to know you better. MySpace allows anyone older than 14 years of age to create a profile page and from there, others can learn about you and contact you if they so wish. The website MySpace features a spot on the profile pages of every individual who registers as a member that is titled "Self-Portrait Day Q & A."
This is where a series of questions is asked and then answered by the members. The questions can range from serious to silly. For example sample questions to be found at the self-portrait section include, "How did you discover the Internet?", "What first caught your eye about MySpace?", "What is your favorite kind of sandwich?" and "What can you be found doing on weekends?"
A MySpace profile contains two basic sections, which include an "About Me" section and a "Who I'd Like to Meet" section. These are the two main sections of a self-portrait or profile for a member. There is also the "Details" section and the "Interests" section. How much information you choose to share with other members and online visitors is up to each member's discretion. It is important to note that if members choose not to give any information in the "Interests" or "Details" sections of their profiles that these sections will not even show up in the profile that is displayed online.
A blog is also a part of an online MySpace profile and this contains areas for three items, which include emotion, content, and media. It's possible to add music to your MySpace page as well as images if you so desire to do so. Members are able to choose an image that will work as their "default image" which serves as the main image that will show up on the main page of the profile as well as the search page. The default image will also show up next to the user's name whenever there are comments or messages left by other individuals.
MySpace is constantly evolving and finding new and better ways to serve its members. There's now an option to upload videos to a profile page and this can be done by way of the MySpace video service. This video service takes place with the use of a standalone flash player and nothing more.
Making new friends and connecting with old friends is an important aspect of the online community at MySpace and therefore a self-portrait at the site would not be complete with a space for friends. The "user's friend space" keeps a tally of how many friends the person has acquired at the site. There is a "Top Friends" spot for the friends who are of the highest priority and the site provides a link to the MySpace web pages for all of the friends listed.
When it first began MySpace only allowed a total of eight people to be listed in the "Top Friends" section but this has now been changed. Currently a member can choose how many friends they wish to list in their "Top Friends" section. It can be any of a quantity of 4,8,12,16,20 or the highest is 24 at a time.
When answering questions at the self-portrait section of your profile it is important to look at how you wish to be viewed by others. Answer questions honestly and be careful about using too many abbreviations, slang or tasteless language. You may think you are being cute or funny but everyone who reads your words might not see it that way. Remain positive, seek to be unique and creative and be as interesting as you can possibly be.
