As MySpace has evolved into an all-around social gathering on the web, it has developed an interesting system of etiquette. It's not what you would expect, but since it has evolved in such a way, you must learn to catch on quickly. Comments are difficult to understand for a newcomer, so here are some of the basics.

Comments are small bits of content that you leave on a friend's MySpace page. By the default MySpace settings, comments are visible to everyone who visits your friend's page. Your friend may have modified them to be hidden (though this can be reversed by turning the page style off), or to only show to people on his or her friend's list.

There is a certain threshold that determines whether you post a comment to a friend's page, or send it to them in a private message instead. The threshold depends on how personal the message is. If you've found a funny image or video that you want to show your friend, then it is generally good etiquette to leave it as a comment on his or her page. It will reach them as fast as a message would, and other people will be able to enjoy it as well. If it's a short, simple message like 'I had fun this weekend' or 'See you at lunch', then a comment would be appropriate. However, if you want to have an in-depth discussion, then messages would be better.

There are many different ways that you can leave fancy comments. If you just want to say hi to a friend, you can look on sites that are designed to give you interesting and funny material to post. It's a popular internet fad to take a funny picture, and add a caption that corresponds to the picture ' for example, a cat with a paw in the air with the caption 'Hi there!' This could be a good comment to leave for a friend, depending on his or her personality. You can also run text through programs that convert it into images 'for example, each letter could be a picture of a butterfly wing with patterns that resemble the letter.

So if you want to establish a MySpace profile, you should definitely consider how you can make good comments to your friends. It's a great way to build relations, keep up with people, and generally have a good time.
