Take a look at two great new Blurtit features. First: the ‘hover’ feature. It’s simple – just hover your mouse over a username or avatar. You will see a quick profile of that person – their Blurtit level, ratings and scores, and whether they are online right now. You will also see an “add as a friend” link, so you don’t need to go to their profile page to make someone your friend. We hope this makes it even easier to contact new friends on Blurtit.
And don’ t miss 'Wysiwyg' –this is in Rich Text Editor and it’s available for your shoutbox, Q&A and groups. With Wysiwyg it’s easier to edit your post, create and undo hyperlinks and upload pictures and videos.
Enjoy using Blurtit! |
