Let’s Get Social!

Zulunotes had a bit of an upgrade over the weekend. We’ve now added some cool new user profiles and other social networking features.

Profile.

To start, we’ve replaced the old user page (which was just a plain template) with a new profile page. Here’s what mine looks like now:

New Profile Page

To access them go over to the main site and login (or register if you haven’t already!) and click on your username in the top right:

my user page

From here you can Add Friends, upload a Picture or avatar, add your personal information (such as the subjects your studying), leave Comments on other users walls, send them Private Messages or even gifts (coming soon!).

Points

You now also earn Zulunotes points for any notes you add to the site. These points will display proudly on your profile, and you’ll even get a rank depending on the amount of points you have.

More to come

So there you have it! That’s a whole host of new features to help you get the most out of Zulunotes. Was it a great idea for us to put out a big new feature right before the mocks started? Probably not! But are we glad now that we did? … You betcha!

What do you think of it? Any other features that you think we should add? And feel free to add me as a friend!
