WebMD Member Personas

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!

Coming Soon: WebMD Community Goes 2.0

Hi WebMD Members!

My name is Leona Perry, and I work with the Community and Membership Team here at WebMD.

It is my pleasure to announce to you that WebMD will soon be upgrading our community features and providing our members with even more exciting tools, as well as revamped message boards. These new features will allow our members a much more personalized experience in the WebMD Community that they love.

In this blog, we'll introduce you to some of our new features and explain how they'll work.

You'll have your first glimpse of our new message board look. (Even though the look is a bit different, they work much the same, but with lots more bells and whistles.) AND, you'll be able to take a peek at what your awesome new profile page will be able to do for you!

I won't give away all the secrets just yet, so stay tuned to the blog for more about YOUR WebMD. And, be sure to ask your questions and give us your comments.

Leona
