Find friends online
(Credit: CNET Networks)There may be an excess of social-networking sites starting up these days, but the concept seems to be a permanent fixture on the Web landscape. Whether it's MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, LinkedIn, or your own network, people love connecting with old friends and finding new ones online.
Most social-networking occurs via Web-based software in your browser, but there are several cool downloadable tools that you can also use to connect and communicate with friends and strangers online.
IMVU lets you chat with friends and members using a 3D avatar.
(Credit: IMVU)Video chat is exploding right now, and Camfrog is the leading software on CNET Download.com, with Paltalk not far behind. If you're the sort who prefers to represent yourself with a 3D character, programs like Second Life and IMVU are excellent apps for meeting like-minded folks.
For those of us who have joined far too many social networks, a cool little app called 8hands can help maintain sanity. Still in alpha development, 8hands displays and manages all of your messages, photos, files, and contacts from MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, and more.
Facebook junkies may have a new friend in Fosimo, a tiny desktop tool that keeps track of all relevant Facebook activity without using a browser. And yesterday, I spent a good deal of the day with Me.dium, a browser add-on for Firefox and IE7 that lets you communicate with users on the same Web site or who have similar browsing patterns.
What do you use to find new and old friends online? Have online criminals scared you away from strangers on the Web? Tell me about it in the comments.
It's still in it's alpha stage so there are a few bugs left, but the new version which came out like 2 weeks ago is the stablest they've ever released. The software gets automatically updated, without bugging the user.
You should definitely download it cause it's the best solution to your problem. http://www.8hands.com/hello
The second involves always beautiful woman they find older gentlemen thru Myspace or Yahoo profiles send some choice pictures they never have a cam (probobly because its a guy doing it.) and they give some sob story of needing money to pay a debt or bills or to get home from Nigeria. They say there from the US but use horrible english, such as very broken english and usually dont understand any american slang. So anyone asking for money beward.
Am Nigerian, I got you. You know what my advice is just that "You have to be very careful" online with those people.
Even those you believe to be saying the truth may not be. although it is reducing nowadays and hopeful it will be curb, though not all can be stopped but to the least that remain in hiding.
You just have to be careful.
Note: I am not saying all my peoples are con artists; there are a host of others who are honest to the bone.
Just be cautious at all time.
It is an Online Games Entertainment, Social Networking using Web 2.0 and a new way of Network Marketing, which has been described as Social Marketing/Network Marketing 2.0.
It has immediate notifications which let you keep track of all your online friends from different networks.
8hands aggregates your friends and rank them so you can know who's your top 8 friends.
Since I've been using that software I know if I'm not paying enough attention to my friends.
My best friend and I made a pact that we'll always be top friends of each other. you should check it out.
possibilities - anyone else with me on this tip?
Most commonly you end up on Intellius, PeopleSearch/Finder, Ancestry [or one of it's hundred affiliated sites].
I have been searching for Sandra Strickland [went to University of FL in early 1960s, red-head, probably from Indiana] since May. It's frustrating and overwhelming.
Please, if you know a best way to search for a person, post it on here.
I anxiously await your reply.
