How can other users contact me?

Several methods are available to contact users, depending on their preferences.
Send an email
You can send email to a user by clicking the blue mailbox icon under the userPic on their journal.
Post-its
If the user has opted to accept post-its, you can leave them a private message on the site by clicking the yellow post-it icon. (You might need to be signed-in depending on their preferences.) If you see a green cell phone icon in the send post-it form, the user has opted to have post-it messages forwarded to their cell phone as a text message.
Instant messages
We have also integrated the site with AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and YIM (Yahoo Instant Messenger). Both services are free and avaialable for Macintosh and Windows. To use these features, you need to have an account with AIMlink or YIMlink and install the software on your computer.

To have your AIM/YIM online status display on your journal, simply log in and click on your preferences control panel (looks like a light switch with two red balls) and enter your AIM/YIM userNames on the forms presented and you are set to go.

Now when you are logged into AIM/YIM, other logged-in users will see your online status under your userPic and can contact you by clicking on the buttons that show up.

When you're logged in, take advantage of the chat panel to talk with other e-peeps. Type your message in the text-field, click "go", and your text will appear immediately.
