There's no place like HOME on the MySpace Toolbar

Ahhh... there's no place like home!

Today I've given some thought to how exactly I want to make a contribution to the experiment this month. Since this is a living, breathing experiment I'm going to spend some time sharing my thoughts about the uses and benefits of various aspects of MySpace as I explore them.

From most of the pages at MySpace you'll notice a toolbar along the top of the page that links to a variety of things... it's the series of words that looks as follows:

Home | Browse | Search | INvite | Film | Mail | Blogs | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | MySpace TV | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

To reiterate what Jackie shared in her video...
HOME always takes you to your back door... in other words,

If you click the word 'Home' from anyone's page it will take you to a new page where, if you're not already logged in you are either invited to log in OR you'll be invited to create a profile. There will be many other things on that page that you may want to peruse. It's amazingly interactive which is part of the reason MySpace is such a great place to meet people.

You can so easily find others who share your interests in books, music, hobbies and even philosophies!!! For instance, when people post in their blogs they are invited to list music they are currently reading or books they are currently reading. On the Member login page there is a box on the left side that contains the word, 'Books'. Clicking on 'books' will take you to a listing of books that are listed on blogs. Today, the #1 top book listed is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne followed by another four top books. Above this is a box where you can do a search to find other readers. Pretty nifty tool for any readers interested in connecting with others who enjoy reading too!

That is all on the page called 'Home' if you haven't logged in. Once you have logged in you'll notice that 'Home' looks a little different... kind of the difference between standing outside of your home looking in and actually walking through the door and being able to rearrange things if you choose... or add a new piece of furniture or a knickknack here and there. ;-)

Here is where you can Edit your Profile, change your Account Settings at will, Add/Edit your Photos, Add/Change your Videos, Manage your Calendar, Manage your Blog, Manage your Address Book, View your Profile, PIcs, Videos, Blog, Comments, Friends and Groups. It's also where you can find your URL should you ever want to share the address of your profile with other people. And believe me, if you're marketing anything online you will want to share your MySpace URL! Here's my address: http://www.myspace.com/AmbassadorofPlay
What's yours?!?

Home is really a vital place. We'll explore many more things to be found there tomorrow!
In the meantime... go explore your Home, maybe hang some pictures if you haven't done so already.

C'ya tomorrow, Thanks!
