*Psst* Whispering in ShoutOut

Dear Shouters,

In ShoutOut, do you ever want to talk to someone without everyone else seeing what you type? At the moment, the best way you can do that is by using SOMail or if it suits you, use MSN right? Time to change.

Based on feedback from a couple of Shouters and what we observed, we decided to add a Whispering ability in ShoutOut. That's right, Whispering. You can now whisper to a person and the content will never be shown to everyone else. Only to the Shouter you are whispering to. Others will only see you are whispering to that person but the content will not be shown. Cool right? We can't wait to launch it!

How to Whisper? At ShoutOut, we always always try our best to make things as user friendly as possible. So this is no exception. By now you already know that clicking on a Shouter's name will bring the name up to your Shout textbox right? Now, to Whisper to someone, click on the First character of the person's name. Like for Lasker, click on the character L. Instead of seeing Lasker appearing at your Shout textbox, you'll see @Lasker. This would trigger the Whispering process. Of course, you do not need to click, you can type this too by just adding @ in front of the a Shouter's name. Go and give it a try :)

We hope you enjoy this new feature of ShoutOut and may it bring shouting fun to a whole new level. This new upgrade brings in more future benefits like 'Leaving an offline message' and more that we cannot reveal just yet (but you are welcome to guess, winner gets a ShoutOut Sticker :D )

Cheers,
Lasker and Elise.

Oh, and one more thing, try to Whisper to multiple people. It is also possible!

Daniel suggested to use this picture to promote our new Whisper function. So I think .. why not? It might be smart promotion strategy .. who knows.
