Etins are messages that are sent out to everyone on a MySpace user's friends list. Bulletins can be useful for notifying an entire friends list, without resorting to messaging users individually. Some users choose to use Bulletins as a service for delivering chain messages about politics, religion, or anything else. 10 Bulletins are deleted after ten days. Groups MySpace has a Groups feature which allows a group of users to share a common page and message board. Language editions Since early 2006 MySpace has offered the option to access the service in different regional versions. In reality the user is currently directed to their "local" site irrespective of attempts to explicitly choose another. These options offered are: Global site, Australia, France (currently in beta), Germany (currently in beta), Ireland, Japan (currently in beta), UK, and US (although this is in fact identical to the "global" site). The alternative regional versions present automated content according to locality (e.g. UK users see other UK users as "Cool New People", and UK oriented events and adverts, etc.), offer local languages other than English, or accommodate the regional differences in spelling and conventions in the English-speaking world (e.g. United States: "favorites", mm dd yyyy; the rest of the world: "favourites", dd mm yyyy). MySpace Mobile American mobile phone provider Helio released a series of mobile phones in early 2006 that can utilize a service known as MySpace Mobile to access and edit one's profile and communicate with, and view the profiles of, other members. 11 Additionally
