Below you will find a rundown of the features available on my.CBN.com:
Trying to figure out all of the tools on my.CBN.com? Here’s a quick guide to the features found in the community.
Dashboard: The dashboard is an area that only you will see. It contains your Activity feed where you can see what your friends have been up to and the latest happenings in your network. From the Dashboard, you can also post directly to the My Thoughts feed.
Friends: Your Friends are users in your network that you email, share content with and follow. Clicking on Friends in the navigation shows you a list of your friends (to visit their profile, you just need to click on their name). To invite people to become Friends, click in the “Invite Friends” link and enter their email addresses. To find current people within the network, just use the search and look them up by name.
Journals: Think of these as user blogs—Journals let you post what’s on your mind, comment on your friends’ entries and see what you’re friends have written.
Photos: With the Photos tool, you can upload, organize and share pictures for your friends to see and comment on. The tool also allows you to tag people in the pictures and see where you’ve been tagged.
My Thoughts: My Thoughts is an area that you post your current status, short thoughts and say what’s on your mind. By going to the “Configure your Tools” section of settings, you can also plug it right into your Twitter account!
The Guest Book: This allows you to write messages on your friends’ profile and allows them to write on yours, just like writing on a wall!
Missions: The Missions tool lets you adopt your favorite CBN cause and set a fundraising goal that your friends help you meet. You can also easily track the results and invite others to support the Mission.
Prayer Requests: Here, you can post your own prayer requests and pray for other users requests.
Video: myCBN allows users to share and comment on their favorite videos from YouTube and CBN TV.
Discussions: Each day on myCBN, there are hundreds of users discussing topics ranging from faith, spiritual growth, politics, culture and more.
Groups: Groups are the best place to meet new people on myCBN. Any user can set up a Group and start discussions with users across the site.
Hi Jesse,
if you created this site thingi, you should consider adding messages, so we can be able to message each other. Some of us wish to talk to others in private for counseling puposes, and besides prayer requests how about being able to counsel the person. When I've asked for help the operaters/staff couldn't help me at all, all they could do were to pray for me, and to be honest I didn't want that I wanted to hear their input but it seems the staff only stick to prayer requests. Aren't we brothers and sisters, if someone is in need of answers immediately don't you think we should also immediately help them, not pray that they'll understand or someone else will help them. The person is calling for a reason, I just wish CBN was a little opening to counseling more not more than prayer, but to even it out a bit. It's just really sad to me.
