How to Create a Hi5 Account

Hi5 is a social networking site with versions available in English, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. It is set up similar to MySpace; you have a profile and connect with other people through their profiles. Hi5 is free to join and setting up an account only takes a few minutes.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Find the Hi5 homepage. In the upper right corner you will see a "Join" link. Click on it to start setting up your account.
2. Put in your name, e-mail address and password. The site asks for your full name and the password is required to be at least five characters.
3. Provide basic information for your profile. Hi5 asks for your birth date, gender, country and zip code. This information appears on your profile as gender, age and location.
4. Agree to the Hi5 terms of service and privacy policy. These agreements outline any restrictions on the Hi5 social networking system. The privacy policy lets you know that the site does not release your information to a third party.
5. Upload a photo of yourself. You have the option of placing a photo on your Hi5 profile. You can skip this option.
6. Edit your profile. After you create your account, you can edit your profile and photo at anytime.

Tips & Warnings

• While creating your profile, you can check your MSN address book for other Hi5 users. You must give the site your MSN username and password to do this.
• Once you create your account, you'll be sent to a page that allows you to invite your friends to join Hi5.
