We wanted to take the time to explain favorites. With a Genwi account, you can favorite items. Adding favorites is a great way to save things you like and share them with your friends.
When browsing items on Genwi – there is a ‘favorite’ link in the footer. Clicking this link opens up an overlay screen with several options. The options allow you to choose between storing the favorite in a default folder – simply called ‘favorites,’ or creating a new folder – called ‘Collections.’ If you choose to create a new Collection you can call it whatever you like and control its privacy settings independently. Collections are a great way to organize favorites into meaningful categories. With favorites and Collections you can use them to organize things you want to use later or to share with others.
Adding an item to favorites
Favorites, by default, show up on your profile. Depending on your profile’s privacy, they are either visible to everyone or friends only. When your followers login to their Wires, they will see your most recent favorite. They can also select ‘friends’ favorites’ from the left hand menu to browse all of their friends’ favorites. This is how friends can use favorites to share cool new things with each other. You can also browse friends’ favorites directly from their profiles by clicking on the favorites tab. This tab will also contain a drop down menu with collection names. Selecting a Collection will take you directly to that Collection.
You can make Collections either public or private. If they are public, they’ll show up on your profile. If they’re private, only you can see them. By making public collections, you can create very topic oriented Collections to share with others. This is a great way of aggregating related items from different sources. You can help others discover the great items you’ve collected around any topic or theme.
The favorites tab on the header will help you find and manage your favorites. In the header, you can select ‘favorites,’ and browse all of your favorites, friends’ favorites and shared items. Managing favorites is easy too. The favorites page let’s you edit and delete all of your favorites in one place. You can edit Collections as well as create new ones. In order to edit a Collection, select the collection from the left hand menu. Once selected a blue title bar will appear with a link to edit the collection. This link will help you edit the name, details and privacy of the Collection.
That is favorites. They are a great way to organize and share all the great activity on Genwi.
