Thread: Being connected with Bebo

Today, Bebo is named as one of the top performers among all social networking sites. It is most popular in the US, UK, Ireland, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. With the number of features available and respectable security levels, Bebo is one of the most "thrilling" social networking sites to use.

Bebo makes your profile interesting by providing you with different "skins" that you can apply to your profile. Applying a skin means applying a different look-and-feel to your profile. Most social networking sites only allow you to enter plain text data while Bebo allows you to customize the way your profile looks, and looks do matter I
Let's see how to use this unique feature. Once you login to your account, click the Explore tab and click the Skins link.

A list of all available skins is displayed. Select the look you'd like to give to your profile and click the Try it on link next to the skin you choose. You can now view how your profile will look with the new skin on. You will also see a confirmation message. Do you want to change your profile skin to this. Click Yes.
Now that we've got the right look on, let's go and invite our friends and let them know we exist on the network! Go to the Friends tab. Enter your friend's e-mail address in the Find/Add Friend box and click the Add button.



If your friend is a member of Bebo, you can add them to your list, else you will receive a message stating that No match could be found for the email address. You can click the Invite Them button to send an invitation e-mail to your friend's e-mail account.
