Friendr.net has just launched; Friendr.net has been worked on by Virtuaffinity website developer Jim Neath.

This is a new social media optimization tool, that helps people add MySpace friends to their profiles.

This tool is useful for people who use their MySpace profile to promote their business
or band, without spamming the typical MySpace users who purely use it
to contact their friends and associates. MySpace is a great tool for
keeping in touch; but spamming can be a problem.

As Social Media Optimization
is relatively new, and the scope of Web 2.0 projects is constantly
increasing, best practices and Social Media Marketing etiquette will
also evolve.

Here are a couple of suggestions from an article by Kent Lewis of Search Marketing Standard:

• Respect the community
• Building and maintain a consistent and robust profile (or brand)
• Engage in the community by commenting, contributing and sharing regularly
• Don’t include blatant self-promotion
• Don’t post biased information
• Don’t breaking community rules
• Don’t spam
