"How's it going? I'm Jason Ketchmark from MySpace for Musicians. I'm going to show you how to check if your friends are on-line. It's very easy and there's a couple of ways to do it. First things first. We're going to start with the basic, and you just put your mouse over friends and click on-line friends. When you click it, it's going to take you to a page, and you're going to see everybody that's on-line. So you can see that they're on-line, but there's a couple of other ways to tell if they're on-line. If you go to their MySpace page, it will actually have this little green text with the orange by it, and it will be flashing like this, and it will say on-line now. So, that's another way, if you're on their profile list, to see if they're actually on-line, maybe they're checking their messages or something. So, that's a good time to catch them. Aside from that, a third way, would be, if you're on your home page, and let's say you're in your in-box, what it will do is actually load on the right side here, when you're checking messages, other on-line friends. So, maybe you're actually sending a message to one of your friends, you'll actually see them show up here. If you have a lot of friends it will only show a few of them, but there's another place that it will show the on-line friends. And that is how you check to see if your friends are on-line.
