Using Socialight Mobile (WAP)
Home Page
The first thing you'll see when you log in to m.socialight.com is your home page. You can access your messages (click the number), see recent Sticky notes worldwide and click an ad to help us stay alive :)
Set your location
If we don't know where you are, you'll see 'location not set (set it now?'). We suggest you do, because once you have set your location, we can start the fun and tell you what is around you!
Once you've told us where you are, you'll notice that Recent stickies worldwide has become Stickies around you!
You can change your location any time, by clicking the Location link at the top of the home page. (you can also do this via SMS, see how here)
SMS Notifications
Once you have set your location, we will notify you about new stickies around you via SMS according to your mobile delivery preferences.
The Menu
At the bottom of every page you will see a menu to help you get around easily.
On most phones, you can simply press and hold the number on your keypad corresponding to the menu item you want and it will go right to that section!
If it doesn't work on your phone, you will have to scroll down and select the link manually (and shout at your phone manufacturer)
Create your first Sticky
Simply choose create from the menu. You will be asked to:
1) Pick a title and message for your note
2) Enter an address where you want to stick it
3) Finally add tags and decide who can see it
Once you are done, the people you want can find your note as they walk around, add comments, tags and ratings, even see a map of where it is!
You'll get the idea really quickly if you create one!
Explore
It's loads of fun to Explore the world using Socialight. Just click Explore from the menu to search for Sticky Notes anywhere in the world.
Enter what you are looking for and where. If you leave either field blank it will search for everything and everywhere respectively.
If you don't find what you are looking for, you can always create a new Sticky yourself!
Contacts
Having your friends on Socialight is what it's all about. You can leave hidden messages and opinions about anything anywhere as well as send them free text messages from your phone! (carrier data charges apply, but way less than sms!)
Find Friends
If your friends are on Socialight, you can find them by clicking People from the menu and searching for their name or e-mail address. Once you've found them, you can send them an invitation to be on your contact list.
Invite Friends
You can invite your friends to join Socialight too. Go here.
At www.socialight.com/invite you can invite people from your online address book too!
Text Message your Friends for Free!
If you click inbox, you can send messages to any of your contacts! Its super simple and free! Well ok, we don't charge you anything, but your carrier may charge you for data transfer according to your plan, so check with them.
But, no matter what plan you are on, this is way, way cheaper than text messaging (sms).
Channels
Sometimes your friends don't have all the answers, so Socialight also has Channels...
All the places with great cocktails... places with free wifi... hotels in the area... great spots for rail slides... scenic views... or anything else you can think of!
- If you subscribe to a channel, we'll notify you about the things in it, just like a friend of yours!
- If the channel owner lets you, you can add your own Stickies or post messages for others in that channel.
- Anyone can create a channel, and if you do, you set the rules!
