How to Find Someone's Facebook or MySpace
By Erika Dean
Facebook and MySpace are social-networking sites that allow you to connect with friends. You can use both sites to send messages and read updates about your friends. It is easy to find someone's Facebook or MySpace profile if you want to add them to your friend list. After you add a friend on either site, Facebook or MySpace will send you a message to let you know you were confirmed as a friend.
Finding a Friend on Facebook
Step 1
Sign in to your Facebook account using your email address and password. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can obtain one for free at facebook.com.
Step 2
Enter the name of a friend you want to find in the search box at the top of the page. Hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard or click the magnifying glass beside the search box so the search will begin.
Step 3
Look through the profiles that come up in the search. If you find your friend's Facebook profile, click "Add Friend" beside the picture in the list; when the box pops up to confirm, click "Send Request".
Step 4
Click on the "Friends" tab from the menu at the top of the page, enter your email address and click "Find Friends". You can use this tool to search for your friends by allowing Facebook to go through your email addresses and show your contacts who are on Facebook. Click "Add Friend" beside any contacts you want to add to Facebook and then click "Send Request".
