Hi Jackie, WAYN stands for Where Are You Now and it's a website something like bebo or facebook or netlog which allows you to keep in touch with friends and share photos, blogs etc. What probably happened is some of your friends use WAYN and have added you as a friend on their webspace, but you don't have to reply because if you do you'll be prompted to join WAYN and create your own webspace, and I'm not sure if its worth doing all that! My own opinion would be not to bother with it and just delete the messages. Hope this helps. Francis Kane I.T.
