What does it mean to Add a Friend? Think of your friends as your inner circle. Adding a friend is essentially adding an additional person to the smaller group of people you stay in touch with all the time. Tagging someone as a friend gives you some real benefits:

• Your list of friends appears on your Profile and in MY FRIENDS (upper right corner of every page).
• Click on My Friends and you can send a private email to all of them at once. When they receive your message they can Reply All or just to you.
• Each friend's photo on your Profile and My Friends is also a "menu" -- click on their nose and you and you can send that individual a public comment or a private email -- your choice -- without even having to chase down their email addresses.
• In your INBOX, when COMPOSING an email, you can Choose from Friends -- your select group -- to send private messages. One at a time, or as many of them as you tick. Again, you don't even have to know their email addresses.
• To add or remove a Friend, go to their profile and click on "Add" or "Remove" right below their photo.
