First of all I'd like to thank all of you who are helping us test Handivi and make it a better product. To help you getting your feet wet, I'm writing a series of small posts that introduce some of the features that are already available.

So you received an invitation code and downloaded the application. After you login, you'll be able to introduce yourself to the rest of the Handivi world by filling in some information:

Next up you'll need to define your privacy settings. This is a really important thing because by default your profile is private. If you choose to continue having a private profile only the people that you explicitly allowed to friend you will see what you share on their friend updates.

After that, we'll take you straight into the action which, in this case, is the public timeline:

At this point, you can do pretty much anything so lets share a photo with the rest of the world shall we?

Any photo can have a message attached to it. It can be anything really: a funny comment, a description of what you were doing at the time, etc.

Lastly you can choose who can see your photo:

If you send it to All (and you have a public profile) your photo will end up in the public timeline. You can also choose to send it directly to specific persons and then only those persons will be able to see it.

We'll be introducing some new features to the communications part of the service in the near future but in the mean time keep send us your feedback, thoughts and ideas.
