Impulse: Requesting and Managing Friends
Make some friends!
Thursday, June 19, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
With Impulse finally here, it's time to start a new set of guides and walkthrough to make sure you are getting the most out of Impulse. I thought I would start it off with going over the Community features, specifically the Friends feature. I really like this as I can keep tabs with what my friends are doing and other activity.
When you hit the Community tab, you will see a list in the upper right hand corner which shows which of your current friends are online, and also shows you any pending friend requests.

Clicking 'manage' will take you the friends request screen where you can review the pending requests you have. As you see in the screenshot below, I have three pending requests. From here you can choose to accept the friend request or just ignore it.

Friend requests |
That's the basics of managing your friend requests, so now lets move on to how to actually request someone to be a friend. I noticed one person wasn't on my list, so I headed over to Bebi Bulma's profile and blog. In the upper right hand section you should see a link to add a friend, so just click that and a friend request will be sent.

You also have the opportunity to send a note with that request as well.

One you have all your friends organized, you can click the 'Friends' tab at the bottom of the Community section. This will give you an overview of your friends activity. It will show you who your friends are making friends with, and also show you comments and blog posts they have made. It's a fantastic way to keep up to date on what your friends are doing.

You can also see a more detailed list about your friends, including links to their blog and profile by selecting the 'Friends list' or 'Dashboard'. You will also have the ability to remove friends from here also if you wish.
After reading this guide you should have a good understand of how to request and manage your friends with Impulse. If you don't have Impulse yet, head over to www.impulsedriven.com and get your copy.

That will be coming in the Ultra Elite Masters edition of Impulse.** Built for those with no time or energy left to pursue a life. It does it all for you, the dating, the awkward moments, the mother in law,the drunken binges coming home at 3 in the morning. etc.. every thing you could possibly want in a life without the stress or mess.
This new software has been being tested by us drones in the SD/WC basement *cough* Dungeon
for years, as we are not allowed out. Shh dun tell them I tol yas... Save me !!!! ** Any chance that your perfect mate resembles HG, ZubaZ or Erk is strictly coincidental.
Offer may not be valid in all areas as we are still trying to determine the legal status of wookie dating. (Erk)
HG models may unstable as they have been determined to be ol an senile causing mass confusion during daily events.
Zubaz Models can come in striped, plaid, varieties with stretchy waist bands.

What are the ramifications of this for the Sins game? Will the Friends list in the Sins game still work and is this a replacement for it?

That is a very interesting subject Brad. In all actuality it has been already here...
WWW Link
If you are logged in it pulls up the right stuff. But of course this not completely the forums. I think I see your point? But how would we use it?
Well never mind that Brad. It would be something to have for many good reasons. In a whole the Impulse has changed many things for the community. So much better than I thought of too!

Don't forget about the "Find A Friend" feature! It's in the upper righthand corner of the Activity page. This allows you to search for a friend to add by their nickname.
