Netlog Blog / Spread some joy this winter holidays season

Social networking has meant that our friendship groups have grown quickly. But when it comes to Christmas and New Year’s Eve, that explosion in personal contact creates a challenge. How can you spread the cheer to all those people?

While some are using video greetings cards, bringing joy through sci-fi art, or hacking Flickr pics, we thought we’d give you some hints at how to use Netlog to spread your seasonal cheer.

Skins
Why not decorate your profile with a Christmas or a winter themed skin? Skins are a way to update the look of your profile with a theme or pictures. We’ve got some wintery featured skins at the moment – take a look! You’ll find them when you click on ‘manage profile’.

Guestbooks
If you’ve got hundreds of friends, you’re unlikely to have the time, money or inclination to send a card to every single one. So why not fly by their profiles and drop your season’s greetings in their guestbook? It’ll make their day to know you’ve visited!

Profile picture
We’re seeing so many people updating their profile pics with photos of them dressed all Christmassy. Dust off that old Santa hat, take a photo of you with your tree or with a snowy frame.

Clans
If you want to make new friends this holiday season, why not join the clans that are springing up to commemorate the festive season? There are loads of discussions going on, from what’s topping Christmas gift lists to the history of the special day. You might learn something!

Events
The end of the year is a time for special occasions. Our events pages are currently full of local gatherings – from town festivals to clubs, music, comedy and parties. Have a look, sign yourself up and get partying!
