Find Friends Fast in MySpace with FriendBlasterPro

Iclip_image002f you are into social networking for its powerful marketing potential, then the more friends you have, the greater your market reach. The trick is to attract a circle of followers who are kindred spirits who share interests similar to yours. Finding friends one by one could take a considerable amount of time before you have a decent group.

Enter FriendBlasterPro a brilliant friend-finding application to save the day. This program more or less automates the process and takes all the headaches out of it for you.

Here’s how it works. After installing, run the program, and log into your MySpace account from within FriendBlasterPro. Locate groups, forums, and classified ads that are related to your area of interest. Alternatively, conduct a search on the topic you wish. When the results page appears, click on the Gather ID’s [sic]. You can then instruct the program to collect just from the current page or all pages. Normally, you would want to harvest all the pages. By the way, you can gather friends from a Google search as well.

You should save these data to a file for future reference. These files can be 10, 20, 30 thousand depending on the size of the interest group.

Next you will want to start requesting friends from this list of potentials you have just generated. Click on the Friend Requester tab. There are a couple of settings you will want to adjust. First is the Friends per day box. I recommend that you set it for 200 per day. Any more than this and you will risk having your account suspended by MySpace because they tend to frown on wholesale friend prospecting on a mass basis. This conservative setting will keep you well under the radar.

The second setting is important too, and that is the time delay. I recommend that you set it for 12 seconds so that it doesn’t appear as if you are blasting away like a machine gun. This will keep you under the radar as well.

There are many other powerful features in FriendBlasterPro. You can send out bulletins at a set time to a list. You can invite a list of friends to an event. You can accept friends automatically. You can send out comments and messages to a list. You can even filter your list for people, bands, comedy, film, gender, age range, last login, and location or multiple locations. The filters can be turned on or off for gathering or for sending. Are you beginning to see the power of this program? Just imagine what you can do with this amazing tool.

While this application is designed to be an autobot running happily along on its own steam, MySpace has thrown up some road blocks. Every once in a while the routine will halt and wait for you to input a Captcha code just to make sure you are a human and not a bot. There is no set number of records before this appears; you just have to live with it. If it weren’t for this minor annoyance, it would be a close to perfect program for putting your home business on autopilot.

I only wish that the developers would create a FriendBlasterPro for all the other social networks out there. We are fortunate to have it for MySpace at least, and you should be taking advantage of it to improve your marketing outreach.

Here’s the deal: You can download it and try it free for a limited time. You can purchase it for one MySpace account for $29.95. Unlimited MySpace accounts usage is $59.95. Upgrades from one to unlimited accounts is $30.00. To get your copy go to <a href="http://tinyurl.com/b9fzol. ">FriendBlasterPro</a>.
