How to Send Messages to Your Friends on the Wii

The Nintendo Wii allows you to add friends to your Wii's address book. The address book can be used to send messages to friends or post on various message boards. To communicate with a friend, both of you must add each other's Wii code (a series of numbers unique to your Wii). Once you've added your friend, your friend's name will show up in any game or Wii channel that allows you to communicate with or play with friends.
