WebMD Member Personas
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Probably one of the most exciting new features in the upcoming new WebMD Community is the member Persona page.

Right now, WebMD community members are able to create a limited profile, which others can view when they click into another member's nickname.

Expanded Personas will include not only the profile, but also a photo or image chosen by the member and several other exciting new features. Some of these features will be viewable to other members in your PUBLIC profile, while others will only be available to you in a PRIVATE view. That means, when you open your Persona page, you will see those features, but others members won't have access.

The image below is a mock-up of what the private view of your WebMD Persona will look like.



My next two posts will break down the pieces of public and private persona, and then we'll dig into how you'll edit your personal little piece of the WebMD Community!

Stay Tuned!

What I have read so far sounds very promising and interesting. I do like the idea of more bells and whistles; but I have questions about the persona page. I'm sure, in time, those questions will be answered.

Thank you all here at WebMd for working so hard to keep us informed and for all the help that is available to us.

I like the new persona look. I think it will be more helpful than what we already have.

Thanks for you comments, Carol and Ann!

I've just posted a bit more detailed explanation above about how the public and private areas of your profiles will work.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them to me!
