New Open Museum Feature, Your Very Own Wall



Open Museum has implemented a new social networking feature, namely the personal wall. Friending people, direct messaging and personal recommendations à la Amazon.com will come later, but in the meantime it is possible to communicate with other members via their personal walls. These walls are visible to all registered users, meaning they are not private, but their content, like all comments in Open Museum, is not searchable by Google.

To see how the personal wall works, look at the photo on the left and visit my wall. Note that you can get updates of this discussion (and any other discussion in Open Museum) by selecting the orange subscription icon.

To start your own wall go to Home in the navigation bar and select My Public Profile, where you'll find the tab Wall and the invitation to enable visitor comments.


Once we complete the development of Open Museum's cell phone accessibility (in the next few weeks), we will turn our attention back to social features. In the meantime, we'd like to hear your thoughts on what would make Open Museum a more satisfying personal experience. Which features would you like to have available? In what order of priority? No ideas are too far-fetched to share!
