Well first you can go to there profiles and if they have a email or IM showing then i would just ask if they would like to chat and be friends.
Reply:One way to do this is to use a website called www.buddystumbler.com for free online chat. On buddystumbler, you can meet like minded people who use IM. If you find someone you like, and they like you as well - you exchange IM screen names... the rest is up to you. It works for aol chat, yahoo chat, msn chat, and google chat.
