MemberGate, the software that helps us run the Waseca Alums site, has added
several new features that we'll be introducing this month.
The new features include
a 'member profile' social networking feature (like Classmates, FaceBook,
MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter) to make it easier to connect with your classmates
and friends. It allows you to post your profile information, submit photos,
create mini-blog posts, and leave notes for your member friends. Click here to set up

the most popular 'social bookmarking tags' on content pages. The tags allow
you to help spread the word about what you're finding most useful and
interesting on the site.
a 'review and ratings' feature on content pages. It allows you to leave
comments as well as rate articles on the site and to comment on comments left by
other members.
a new 'forum' layout. It allows you to have an avatar photo that identifies
your posts and it will recognize you for the number of forum posts you've made
and how long you've been posting.
'forum links to YouTube videos' on the new forum pages. They allow you to
paste YouTube links into your forum posts.
