There isn't much difference between these, except for the feature of sending files through letters. This is the main
way to contact your pen-pals, but there are others.

Making Friends:
There are several ways to make friends on Kupika. You can do a simple match (a randomly generated member), a
conditional match (Type in details to find a particular sort of member) or you can just look through other new/old
members profiles to find someone you like.

Oekaki's
Oekaki is the japenese for "to doodle." Here you can draw pictures of anything, from Antelopes to Manga to Zoos!
Sometimes people dedicate oekaki's to other people or do requests, like Twin_Nita and Sashikinoneko (not sure if she
still does them). People will often set up sites dedicated to oekaki requests.

Profiles
A profile is a description of yourself. other people can look through this to find out if they want to make
friends with you. You can add pictures, and even videos from www.youtube.com(See Creating a cool profile)!

is on your home page, and real-time chat is on some members profiles. You need to enable it first.

Shout-Outs
You will find these near the top of the page, under the big navigation bar. It will have the username and somthing they
want to say.
