What are these for? ....what are friend requests for ? I thought we only contact each other to arrange shoots etc Some one please explain the basic culture of MM or am gong to get lost and leave P.s sorry for spelling and grammar that is wrong I am using mobile phone Thanks x Jan 07 13 10:00 am Link Sarah-Anne2 wrote: If you don't require friends.....do not accept them. ok..everything is a ok in Mayberry. Jan 07 13 10:02 am Link it's also a social network. i just accept all friend requests even though they don't mean much. if it's a local model i might contact them. but if someone wants to shoot with me they should tag me or send me a message. Jan 07 13 10:05 am Link I only do friends request if I have worked with them or met them so others ca ask my friends about me. L2 Jan 07 13 10:08 am Link I have a tag but I'm not quit sure how they work Jan 07 13 10:08 am Link The Mayhem is a networking site. Friends, tags, comments, contests, forums, its all a way to get your name out there. You will do great, enjoy the Mayhem.

Jan 07 13 11:04 pm Link I've also been wondering the same thing lately. Obviosuly I know what they are for (and I know each model is different and goes case by case) but I'd love to hear some model input. Do you prefer a FR before a PM/email requestin a shoot or is it better to just send a message first and forgo the FR? Thanks for all input!

Jan 10 13 03:56 pm Link I only friend request people who live in my province or who often travel to my area except for retouchers cause I just need to deal with them online. I'm not a friend collector and I only do the friend thing for the connections and networking. Jan 10 13 04:08 pm Link I suspect many here tend to think of "friends" listings as bookmarks - simply a way to keep track of those who's portfolios one might wish to refer back to or those who have taken time to comment an image or leave a tag. I deny requests only from obvious friend-collectors because I just don't see the point. If I send a FR it is because I am interested in working with that person or would like to keep track of their progress or ongoing work.

Jan 10 13 04:29 pm Link I use "friends" here in a couple of different ways. Normally, I browse through and if I see a model or an MUA, Stylist, etc, that I think I may want to work with, I send them a Friends Request. If I'm casting something personally, I search through my friends list before I use the browse function. Sometimes, like Twohearts up there, I friend people to keep up with them, bounce ideas off them, ask questions of them, etc. Then, there are those who I am just purely a fan of, and will probably never meet in person, or work with for that matter, and I friend them as it makes it easier to check out their new stuff. Many different reasons for the same thing. It's networking!  Jan 10 13 05:09 pm Link Sarah-Anne2 wrote: There's really no point to friends here. With the possible exception of being able to see folders that are marked "friends only" Jan 10 13 05:47 pm Link Ed W Photography nudes wrote: Or, make them friends. I think there's no point to "favorites" and I basically always forget that that option exists. But, if it works for you, go with it. One of the nice things about having multiple options is that different people tend to have different preferences. Jan 10 13 06:33 pm Link Ed W Photography nudes wrote: OR you could use your "favorites" one way and your "friends" a different way (such as to keep track of different things" and then use the "browse" feature specifying either list to find people on those lists based on location (or other criteria). Jan 10 13 07:12 pm Link Sarah-Anne2 wrote: How will the contact be initiated? Jan 10 13 07:21 pm Link I accept or initiate friend requests based on previous interaction. If you're in or near my area and there's a chance we'll shoot some day, I'll accept or initiate a friend request. If we've had other interaction like PM or something more than the basic forum chatter, I may send a friend request especially if I like your work / look. Other than that I'm not here to collect friend. Drive by friend requests are always denied. Jan 11 13 05:42 am Link Im pretty new to the site too and I hadn't thought much about receiving friend requests. I have accepted them all just because without them, it will be harder to get your name out there. The more people you know in this business the better! Jan 11 13 08:21 am Link I send friend requests to people I'd like to work with - and often just because I like the work (even if they're too far away to make working with them practical or likely). When I'm looking for a model or planning a trip, I always start by searching my friends list. Jan 11 13 08:35 am Link |
