Interact with other Wii users. All Wiis can be connected by the Internet. Link one Wii to another to play or share information by adding a friend. Add a friend by obtaining his user name then message him by clicking the message icon in the lower right hand corner and filling out the form.

Play other Wii owners by playing a game both players own and sending an invitation using each game's individual settings. Share media by attaching the desired media to messages sent from one Wii to another. For example a picture can be sent by accessing the Wii's Photo Channel, selecting a photo and then selecting share or post.

Tips & Warnings
Wii owners can also "meet up" in the virtual community of the "Mii Mall." A Wii owner can access the Mii Mall by creating a "Mii," or a character representing the player, at the Mii Channel tab using the prompted steps. After a Mii is created, the Mii Mall can be accessed from the Mii Channel as well.
