My stuff is your Squace start page; here, links to all your favorite sites, services, RSS feeds, and such are collected and accessible with one click. Each square represents a link. As you move the cursor over grids, pop-ups display content behind each square. Click on a heading to display a site. You can share a square with a friend, add a square to temporary storage called the Garage or remove a square from the grid.
Squace sites (various content sites) are organized in a grid. Each square is a link to an object, e.g. a news article, weather information, or phone number. A specific site might be organized in one or several tabs with varying content. The active square or tab is always orange.
A small menu pop-up displays after you select a square by positioning the cursor on the square. Then you can open the square, share it with a friend, add it to the Garage, or add it to My stuff. The Garage is temporary storage at the bottom of the display; here the square is easily accessible for later use. If you add it to My stuff, then the square is displayed on your start page.
Content (e.g., an article) is displayed in a new window. Press the left arrow button to close the window and go back.
The Garage consists of two small rows at the bottom of the display. This is a temporary storage for frequently used squares; this function makes them easily accessible. The first square is a message indicator signaling if someone has shared a square with you.
When moving the cursor over the Garage, a pop-up displays content of each square, just like on My stuff or a regular site. You can share the square with a friend, add it to My stuff or remove it from the Garage.
Two navigation icons are in the bottom corners: back (left icon) and forward (right icon).
The small, bottom-right grid returns you to My stuff, refreshes the grid, and makes new links appear. This icon also indicates when Squace is connecting.
The bottom-left magnifying glass is a search function that helps you find Squace sites and information. Type a word and all sites etc. tagged with that word will be displayed in a grid.
Under Tags, you find content of different kind sorted according to how it has been tagged (labeled) by you and by other users. A tag is a keyword assigned to a piece of information (e.g. a site, blog, picture, etc.). The tag describes the item and enables keyword-based classification and search of information. (read more about tags here or here). The tags you selected when adding or creating content in Sqauce, as well the most popular global tags are shown under different tabs.
Your own tags are displayed under the tab My. Click one of the squares and the sites that you have tagged with this particular word are shown in the grid. If you click Global content, the grid shows the most popular sites that have been tagged with this tag word by other users as well. This is a way to find sites which others have tagged with the same tag word as you; a quick way to explore new content of interest to you.
You can also find new content by clicking the tab Popular tags. This will give you the most popular tags for the moment. Click one of the squares and the grid will display the sites associated with this tag.
Click the tab Invite when you want to invite your friends to start using Squace.
Click Share in the pop-up when you find content (site, article etc.) that you would like to share with a friend or a group of friends. The site will appear in your friend's inbox. You can add a personal message when you share a square.
The Inbox contains squares that your friends have shared with you. The latest shared square is always in the top-left corner of the grid. You can add the square to My stuff or remove it. Click Details to find out who shared the square with you and read the message. The first square in the Garage indicates if you have new squares in your Inbox.
Under the tab Contacts you add friends to your contact list and to groups. Click the first square to add a new contact. All your contacts are displayed in alphabetical order in the grid. The pop-up allows you to add a contact to a group or remove it from the contact list.
A Group is simply a collection of contacts. By clicking the first square you create a new group and add the contacts of your choice to it. You can for example share a square with a whole group.
Under the Find tab you can find out who of your friends are Squace users. You can also invite friends whose contact details you have already stored in your email program. When you have imported your contacts (e.g., from Gmail), they are displayed under the In Squace tab(friends who are already Squace users) or the Not yet tab(friends who have not yet started using Squace). The Squace users can now easily be added to your contact list and those who are not, can be invited.
The bottom row of the main grid always contains new and interesting stuff. Click for example the first square and you will find the latest Squace sites and other stuff that have been added.
