Getting Started

[edit] Getting Started

Ok, so you've got an account. Now what do you do? Here's a guide to things to get you going...

Find your mates and add them as contacts. Rhub will have already added the person that invited you, and people you add as contacts will be automatically be tagged as 'friend'. A good place to find people you know on rhub is by going to your contacts page, and visiting the page of the person that invited you. You might know some people they know. Alternatively, just browse a list of all people on rhub.
If a bunch of your friends are related and have a group, join that, or maybe create a new one and invite them. You can also browse groups to find something interesting.

Visit your 'settings and profile' page (http://rhub.net/home.php), upload a photo and set your personal information and preferences
If you didn't accept an invite via SMS, add your mobile phone to rhub so you can use it via SMS, and it can forward you messages.
If you use MSN Messenger, link in your Messenger account, so rhub can contact you via that too. You should also add 'msn@rhub.net' to your MSN contact list.
If you use Jabber or GTalk link in your address, so rhub can contact you that way. You should also add 'jabber@rhub.net' to your contact list.

Upload photos from your computer, the web or your phone
Send messages to your friends or groups of friends
Discuss topics related to groups or locations
Let your friends know where you are, or where you want to go by using the presence features

Sure you can use rhub via the website, but you can also access it via a mobile phone, MSN Messenger, Jabber/GTalk and email. You can do a lot of things this way, using what we call the "console". Read more about it now, so you can use it when you get mobile!
