It’s tradition to celebrate Valentine’s Day by sending sweet messages to your Valentine, fellow colleagues, students, and of course your loved ones. Well, now there is a cool digital way to send it via Symbaloo. We have created a Valentine’s Day widget that will allow you to send and receive Valentine messages. The widget is currently available in the gallery, so you are welcome to install it and start sending/receiving messages. To add the widget to your Symbaloo just click on the image of the widget to the right and it will take you directly to the widget in the gallery to be added to your Symbaloo.

Just click on the widget and it will prompt you in the center box to either send or receive a message. View example below:

When you receive a message there will be a notification on the widget that tells you how many messages you have waiting for you on Valentine’s day.

An email will be sent on Valentine’s Day to your inbox for every message you receive that contains a code that you can use to retrieve your message.

Hope you enjoy the widget and receive lots of wonderful messages!!

Happy Valentine’s Day from Team Symbaloo!!

Op sommige momenten wil je graag al het nieuws over 1 onderwerp volgen. Hoe doe je dat met behulp van Symbaloo?

We nemen als voorbeeld de elfstedentocht. Ga allereerst naar Google nieuws: http://news.google.com. Hier vul je de term in die je wilt volgen, in dit geval de elfstedentocht. Je krijgt deze resultaten te zien.

Klik vervolgens onderin op het “RSS” icoontje.

De link waar je vervolgens op uitkomt kun je gebruiken om een blokje mee te maken! (Controleer of Symbaloo bij het aanmaken van dit blokje bij stap 1 “nieuwsfeed” selecteert)
