One doesn't have to look at in this way necessarily, but it could be said that the object of being on MySpace is to develop as many contacts as possible. MySpace contacts are generally referred to as friends, and there are users on MySpace who literally have hundreds of thousands of these friends. Some may think that going through the time and effort of making that many friends on MySpace is wasted energy, but connections regardless of where they should come from can lead to positive opportunities.

The method for making friends on MySpace is no more complex than adding someone to a personal list, known as a friends list. Once a person is on one's friends list, that person can be contacted in various ways. Some people on MySpace send out announcements to every person on their friends list. This method can be and is used for advertising purposes. Imagine having a list of several hundred thousand people that you can relay information to with one simple action. The potential behind this type of capability is obvious but should be managed with a gentle touch. People on MySpace don't like being inundated with advertisements anymore than people outside of MySpace do, and sending lots of ads to one's friends list will quickly lead to people blocking future messages or removing an intrusive someone from their friends list entirely.

Though it's an easy process to add contacts through MySpace, the effort comes in when putting a list of contacts together in the first place. MySpace has literally tens of millions of members, and finding people to connect with who are mutually interested in connecting back can be time consuming. There are people on MySpace for instance who will reject requests to be added to one's friends list. Rejection on MySpace, like in the real world, does occur. One doesn't necessarily want to spend a lot of time and effort then querying people about becoming contacts not being sure of whether that query will be productive or not.

There are methods for automatically querying people for a contact relationship on MySpace, typically through script programs of some type. These scripts, frequently referred to as trains, will automatically send requests for being added to a friends list on a user's behalf. You can be assured that MySpace users with thousands and thousands of friends have used an automatic script to develop their list, unless they're some form of celebrity that people seek out on their own. While these automatic friend scripts are a convenience, some MySpace users frown on an automated approach to being queried for a contact relationship, and will decline them if and when they should come.
