The President Really Needs Some Help With His MySpace Page!

2010-08-04T19:20:00.003-04:00

Here is a link to President Barack Obamas MySpace Page:

Barack Obama's MySpace Page

I was looking at my own MySpace page when I found out that it was the President's Birthday today so I decided to visit his MySpace page and add my birthday wishes!

When you go to his site you will see on his blog where his wife, Michelle Obama is asking everyone to sign a birthday card for him.

However while looking at his site I noticed that his comments didn't seem up-to-date. The President of the United States has well over 1 and a half Million "friends" on MySpace and I kind of find it hard to believe that no one has left a comment since January of this year!

This would be an excellent work at home opportunity for someone who is currently out of work and who is also a Myspace expert.

Is Your MySpace Account Inactive?

2008-12-14T20:01:00.003-05:00

If so you may run the risk of losing your MySpace account!

Here is an excerpt from a MySpace email recently sent!

Your MySpace URL - www.myspace.com/(yourmyspace website url) is about to be taken away, so you may lose it forever. This is the unique URL you chose for yourself (such as www.MySpace.com/Tom)

It’s been some time since you’ve logged in and used your MySpace URL. You're holding a very valuable piece of MySpace real estate, which is the URL you chose.

Since it doesn't look like you're an active user on this account, we will be resetting your username/URL so that someone else can use it.

How do you keep it for yourself? Simply login to your account right now by clicking here. That’s it!

NOTE: We are only resetting the URLs of inactive accounts. We will *not* delete your account. We are simply trying to free up the username/URLs for people who actually want to use them. Thanks!

You can also contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your privacy at:

So if you want to make sure that your MySpace page will always be yours then make sure that your MySpace account stays active!

MySpace IM

2008-07-01T15:32:00.002-04:00

A few months ago I downloaded and installed Myspace's IM (Instant Message) program. At the time it seemed to be an interesting little program to find out more about. But little did I know that it would start up everytime I started my computer and since it took it so long to actually start up, I was getting a little bit annoyed at having to turn on my computer and wait for it to load - every time I started up my computer!

So I tried finding a way to stop it from loading everytime I started my computer. For a few weeks I was trying to find the answer and I just came to the conclusion that I was trying too hard!

Then I finally found the solution! Duh! I had to be signed in before I could change the preferences so that it wouldn't start everytime I started my computer. So I just implemented this today and the next time I start my computer I will see if the Myspace IM program loads again.

If it does, then it's back to the "drawing board" again!

A Lot Of Famous People Have A MySpace Page!

2008-04-26T20:54:00.003-04:00

I have a couple of famous "friends" on MySpace! They include Madonna, Janet Jackson, Quincy Jones and Steve Valentine who played Nigel Townsend on "Crossing Jordon".

I doubt that some of the "bigger" celebrities that have a myspace page actually work on their myspace pages. Come to think of it I remember Steve Harvey, a famous comedian, saying that he didn't even know what a myspace page is but his manager told him that he definitely had to have one!

The reason why I'm blogging about this is because I noticed that there are a lot of searches for a very popular radio host in my area! He was on a very popular radio station here in Philadelphia but the station changed format and all of the on-air staff was gone! It him some time to re-surface but he is now on another radio station in Philadelphia. So I guess that his fans were still looking for him and they decided to google him and that led them to one of my blogs where I posted about him.

My Own MySpace Page...............

2008-04-09T05:01:00.002-04:00

I'm currently going through my "friends requests" and messages on my own MySpace page and I see that a lot of requests are coming from those that are marketing (or want to market) their businesses.

I don't see too much wrong with that because I know that there are "secrets" that people use on MySpace to help promote both their businesses and careers! Since I have a career and business of my own I shouldn't be too snobbish about others advertising their own businesses.

You could gain a very good network of contacts via your own MySpace page and I'm assuming that this is what a lot of people are doing. There's nothing wrong with promoting and / or advertising your business or career on your MySpace page. You never know whether or not you could get lucky with the contacts that you make there. And by lucky I mean getting contacts that can help you in your business ie more clients, more contacts and more customers!

But that's not to say that you can't use your own MySpace page as a personal networking site too. I think that was the reason that MySpace was started in the first place. As a matter of fact I am just "getting it" as far as the term MySpace is concerned. MySpace - meaning your own personal "space" on the internet - DUH!

So far I'm getting some very interesting friend requests - both from businesses and individuals.

I must say though that sometimes when I'm checking out another person's MySpace page, it takes some time for their sites to load.

I know people like to get carried away when they are adding stuff to their own MySpace pages but sometimes it will bog / slow down when other people are trying to load your MySpace page to see what you are all about.

"What Happened To My MySpace Page?"

2008-04-07T15:13:00.000-04:00

If you go looking for a myspace page and its not there - or even worse your OWN myspace page can no longer be found, here's a note from myspace:

The link you are trying to visit has been disabled.

You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread.

You may be asking yourself, "Hey, what was it about that link that got it in trouble?" An excellent question! Usually, it's one of the following reasons:

- The link was spam! No one likes spammers, and we don't like their links.

- You almost got phished! There are people out there who want to steal your MySpace password. They want to log in as you and send spam, harass your friends, change your profile, and generally run amok. Phishing pages are usually designed to look like MySpace to trick you. Other sites may also ask for your MySpace login information to customize your profile, insert videos or slide shows, track visitors, or any number of other things. Don't make it easy for them. ONLY USE YOUR MYSPACE LOGIN INFO ON WWW.MYSPACE.COM!!

- Viruses are not fun! Neither is adware, spyware, or malware. We cut the links to places that are known sources of infection.

If you really did want to check out some spam, viruses, or phishing pages, we're really sorry to have interrupted. We're sure you can find it elsewhere. There's plenty on the Internet

Denying "Friends"

2008-03-12T19:18:00.000-04:00

I was answering some friend requests on my MySpace page when I came upon a friend request by a business. My first thought was to deny the friend request because it was from a company and not a person but then I thought why be so snobbish! I mean I myself am a business and I do post about my business on my MySpace site.

I will see how it goes!

I know that there is a lot of spam and that sometimes when you get a friend request it is for the purpose of posting nothing but spam. Fortunately though you also have the option to delete friends on your myspace page too!

If You're Looking To Get Hired You Might Want To Be Careful About What You Put On Your Myspace Page!

2008-02-18T14:38:00.002-05:00

Although a lot of people use their myspace page for fun you NEVER know who is going to be looking at your myspace page in case you decide to have a public myspace page.

(As a matter of fact you might want to consider having both a private and a public myspace page!)

There is a growing trend that is going on where companies who are looking to hire people are checking out their myspace page! One college student lost any hope of getting hired after the company checked out his myspace page where he wrote that he "liked to smoke blunts!

The Top 6 Myspace Questions

2008-01-15T09:25:00.000-05:00

Here is a list of the current top 6 Myspace Questions:

Is MySpace free?
How do I add color, graphics, & sound to my Profile page?
How do I change my personal information?
How can I change my email address and/or password?
Why is my Profile page suddenly messed up? It has music, sound or strange graphics on it?
How do I report Identity theft, Underage User, Cyberbullying, Copyright Violation, to MySpace?

To get the official Myspace answers to these questions it best to go to the Myspace FAQ page itself.

Need Some "Friends"?

2007-12-08T21:49:00.000-05:00

I'm currently adding some new "friends" to a MySpace client of mine.

When you are relatively new to myspace you don't get "friends" automatically.

Unless you tell your own friends about your myspace page or you have another website with a link to your myspace page then it will take some time before you start getting friend requests.

There are a lot of people that "troll" through myspace looking for new friends so that is another way that you might get friend requests.

So since my client is relatively new to myspace, they haven't had a chance yet to accumulate friends. For this client I'm adding friends of the celebrity kind - the more famous the better!

*Here is an important point to remember:

When you first join myspace you will automatically get 1 new friend named Tom. Who is Tom? Tom is the creater of Myspace and when you join myspace he is automatically added as your "friend".

So everyone who joins myspace will have at least one friend unless they delete him.

How do you show more than 4 top friends on myspace?

2007-11-04T20:48:00.001-05:00

When you sign in to your myspace page you will see an option where you can "change top friends". Click on that and you will be able to specify how many "friends" that you want to show on your myspace page. You can increase or decrease the number of "friends" that show on your myspace page.

MySpace Backgrounds?

2007-10-11T04:51:00.001-04:00

Myspace backgrounds are one of the most popular questions regarding myspace. People want special, customized and personalized myspace backgrounds!

I have done a few backgrounds for a couple of Myspace clients and you can see a listing of my clients on my own myspace page. (Plus it will also give you the opportunity to see my own myspace profile and background!

There are many different sites that offer myspace backgrounds where you can simply copying and paste the codes. However a lot of people are having trouble with doing that.

Another problem is that people want a more customized or personalized myspace background and those have to be specifically made. It's not an easy thing to do! It is easy for those that specialize in creating myspace backgrounds because they have been doing it for so long. But if you are new to creating a myspace background it may get a little frustrating and time consuming.

How Can I Paste An Image To The Comments Section Of A Person''s Myspace Page?

2007-10-05T11:23:00.000-04:00

If you already know the url of the image you can simply copy that image's url and paste it along with your comments.

You can also create a photobucket account where you can upload your images and photobucket will give you the url/link codes so that you will be able to paste the images elsewhere (including in a myspace page's comments section).

Can I Add "Other" Music To My Myspace Page?

2007-10-01T18:05:00.000-04:00

The only music that you can add to your myspace page is the music from those that have a myspace page and they are either artists or musicians.

I'm guessing that this is because copyright issues are involved.

Let's say that you have a piece of music at home from an artist that you like and you would like to use it as the music on your myspace page. You wouldn't be able to do that. You may get lucky if the artist has a myspace page and that music is part of their myspace page and then you could simply "add" it to your own myspace page.

But other than that - No!

Did You Know That MySpace Has Its Own Record Label?

2007-09-22T16:48:00.000-04:00

This just goes to show you how popular MySpace has become!

Initially bands created a myspace page so that they could get more exposure. Now they might even get a chance to be a part of myspace's own record label!

Additionally, MySpace even has a tour coming out! The tour will feature bands that have a myspace page!

So if you still haven't decided whether or not you should have a myspace page I say that you should go for it! You never know what opportunities are out there for you!

Can You Put Adsense On Your MySpace Page?

2007-09-17T21:18:00.000-04:00

"Can I Put Adsense Ads On My Myspace Page?"

Can you put adsense ads on your myspace site?

The answer is no! Personally I thought it was because even though you could add the adsense ad coding the adsense ads still wouldn't show up on your page - so I thought it was a matter of MySpace just not allowing you to be able to use adsense on your myspace page.

But some else has pointed out that MySpace itself uses adsense ads and adsense's terms of service clearly say that you can't have more than 2 publishers' ads on one site - which basically means that since Myspace already has adsense ads - you can't add your own set of adsense ads.

I really have to look more closer at MySpace because I really don't remember seeing any adsense ads there.

MySpace Consulting Is Becoming Very Popular!

2007-09-14T21:42:00.000-04:00

clipped from 72.14.209.104

NEW YORK - Think the social networking revolution comes without pressure? With sites like Myspace and Facebook becoming so widely popular – almost expected – teens are finding their social status is directly connected to the popularity of their personal online exposes.

Michelle Gaubernec, a New York city-based advertising consultant has found new market in helping young girls make their online pages worth the hype. She specializes in coodinating the best material for her clients pages.

“I'll help a girl choose the best party photos, the best friend shots, and edit their blog to really make an impression,” says Gaub, “when an online page is shared with so many new friends and potential relationships, it has to be the best.

Since many sites like MySpace let users add endless music, pictures, and links, “Profile consultants” like Michelle are finding more and more demand.

“My daughter is so proud of her webpages” says the mother of one of her clients. “Without Michelle she couldn't focus on her popularity”

Gaubernex makes it easy her for her teen clients to stay on the top of their social circles. After every party, photos are uploaded to her “dropbox” where she selects the best, has her graphics artists retouch and crop the photos she chooses and they are then displayed on the site pages. Once a week or so, the two meet to discuss new additions to the site pages like music and styles.

“What's in can change so quickly” says Mich, “it's important the pages reflect these changes ASAP”.

"I'm more than a web designer," she says, "I'm an agent for the online celebrities."

"No Photo"

2007-09-12T13:32:00.000-04:00

One of the very first things that you will want to do with your new myspace page is to upload a photo so that it can be used as your myspace ID photo. It doesn't have to be an actual photo of yourself it can be almost anything - even just a blob of color - but please upload something!

Not having a photo idea just makes your whole myspace profile look unprofessional and undone! If you don't have a myspace photo then everytime you're added as a friend there will only be an empty photo to identify you with. Just today someone added a comment to my MySpace Blog but there wasn't a picture included on that person's myspace identity - so it makes it look unprofessional and undone.

If you don't know how to upload a photo to your myspace profile then please get someone to help you. After all if you have a myspace page you want it to look as good as possible - don't you?

I Have My Own MySpace Page

2007-09-09T17:29:00.000-04:00

I guess it would a good thing to mention that I also have my own MySpace Page:

My Own MySpace Page

I'm quite happy with the way that my MySpace profile page looks and don't think that I want to change it (unless I find a layout that I like better!)

However there are some things that I would like to edit on my MySpace profile page - most namely is that I want to be able to add more information on the left side because the left side looks so empty.

But I'm working on it.
