New Online Community Features

Written by Tom Greever

I'm excited to announce some major additions to communitychristian.org -- Now all registered users can participate in a virtual community together, share photos, create and join groups, send messages, engage in discussion, and generally have a good time. Find out what other attenders are up to, create a private group for your small group to stay in touch, or meet new people from your campus! Whatever your flavor, there's something for everyone at communitychristian.org/connect - You'll want to read on to find out more about these exciting new features. 

Many of these new features are inspired by social networking websites like Facebook, so you'll instantly recognize many of these enhancements. And while we don't aspire to become a private version of Facebook, we do hope that these features will allow our attenders a chance to connect both online and offline in a private, protected community. Every user can manage their own privacy levels, but by default no user profile can be viewed expect by registered users. 

Please note, if you already have an account on communitychristian.org -- you'll want to visit your profile to update or remove any data that you don't want shared with other members. While you're there, upload a photo of yourself so we can see who you are! Either way, you are in control of your privacy, so grab on and dig in. 

Here are a few of the fun things you can do:

• Update your status so everyone else knows what you're up to
• Add friends so you can keep in touch
• Join a campus group and find out what's happening at your location
• Create a group of your own for your small group or a common interest and find people like you
• Upload your photos and share with everyone the pics you took at church
• Add applications to your profile like an RSS Feed from your blog or your Twitter account 
• Write one someone's wall to let them know you've been thinking about them

We plan to continue to improve the features here at communitychristian.org -- so stick around and come back often!
