All you need to use oGoing is an Internet connection. Ready to join? Just go here to Join Now.Once you're in, type your first update in the box on your home page. That's it! You are now ready to explore the world of oGoing. Just fire away your updates, and your contacts will begin to know "What's going on" in your life, your work, your fun things...

oGoing offers many ways to post your updates: on the web in the update box (which is on your home page after you login), and from the mobile applications on various platforms developed by the oGoing team (coming soon). We will be offering oGoing Platform APIs as well so that application developers can offer oGoing updates through their platform.

Just go to Settings to setup your own profile on oGoing. You can add your photograph, your website, one line bio, your location, time zone, your Twitter username and password, and even create a unique background. Your profile demonstrates who you are. Keep it real.

What are people saying on oGoing? Just go to Search and find out in real-time what's going on now. You can search by keyword or just check out most talked about topics to see what's hot on oGoing, right now, in real-time. From you home page, you can also see the most shared updates and most liked updates... Finally, for those who want to search with their own set criteria, we have Advanced Search also.

When you create an account on oGoing, you can Search for people by their name or user name, import your contacts from other networks, and even invite contacts via email. If you don't want to do that, you can start by following some of the people we've suggested. Once you've found your contacts, you can follow them to start getting their updates. And your contacts can begin following you also.

When you follow someone on oGoing, every time they post a new message, it will appear on your oGoing home page. New messages are added to your home page as the people you follow post them, so you always get their updates in real-time. When you log in, you can see what the latest updates are from everyone you follow. You can even scroll down to see updates from earlier (in case you missed them). oGoing offers more ways to follow people too: for instance, you can get updates on your phone.

When you click the follow button on your contact or someone interesting, you begin to follow them immediately. If you click on the following link on your profile on your home page's sidebar, you will see everyone that you are now following in a list. If you are following many people, you will need to go to next page to see everyone that you follow.

As soon as someone begins to follow you, oGoing will send you an email notifying you about your new follower. Under Settings | Notices, you can setup your preferences to notify you when you have a new follower. If you click on the followers link on your profile on your home page's sidebar, you will see all your followers. You can choose a follower, and send them a direct message or mention them.

On oGoing, you can add some of the people following you to your Group. A Group is your special group of contacts on oGoing that you choose (from the ones following you). Your Group of contacts will only receive updates sent to them by you. Updates sent to Group are not visible on your profile page.

On oGoing, there are no limits on how many followers you can have, and how many people you follow. Same is true with all the updates. You can send as many updates as you want, or as few as you want. Although, your contacts will want to know about "What's going on?" in your life, and hence, would appreciate at least one update a day.

Updates sent to All (public updates) are available to all your followers immediately as soon as you post them. Once you write an update, just click on Update All to send everyone the update. Updates sent to Group are only available to your followers in your Group! Just click on Update Group to send your updates to your Group. Anyone who goes to your profile page can see all the public updates sent using Update All. Your public updates are also available to anyone who searches for your name or by using some of the topics you talk about. Your oGoing profile is public by default; if you do not like strangers reading your updates, you can protect your profile to approve followers and keep your updates out of search. Note: Your previous updates could still be visible to everyone.

If you don't want someone to follow you, you can block them immediately. Just click on the button next to their name, and then click on Block. Once you block someone, they won't be able to follow you nor send you any messages. Remember, if your account is public though, they'll still be able to view your public updates, but they will be removed from your followers list, and you wont be on their following list either. Are you trying to block someone who is spamming? Do let us know about spammers by Contacting Us.

If you like an update, you can mark it as your favorite. Just go to that update, and click on the star on top right of the update. That's it! Now, that update gets added to your Favorites. People can view all your Favorites, and you can also view theirs, by clicking on the Favorites link in the profile page.

On oGoing, you can not only create your own Favorites updates by clicking on the star on that update, you can further click on the like button to tell everyone about updates you Like. When you click on the like button, your Liked update gets added to the Most Liked updates queue. You can see the most Liked Updates on your profile page. Further, oGoing allows you to Share updates with all your followers. Just go to the update, and click on Share. Once you Share an update, it goes to all your followers. Shared updates get added to the Most Shared updates queue also. You can see the most Shared Updates on your profile page.

You can put your oGoing updates anywhere on your own website, your blog, your other social media websites... oGoing provides an RSS feed for both your updates and your Favorites. Just paste your RSS feed URL wherever you would like your updates to appear.

You can reply publicly to any update on oGoing by using the @username format. Just type in an update such as: @username (my update) and this update will be shown on your profile page, and also sent to the username's profile page. Thus, an @reply is a public message sent from one person to another. How is the reply update different? If a message begins with @username, it is shown as a reply. You can also go to someone's update on your home page, and click on the Reply button to send a reply to that person. You don't need to follow someone to send a reply, and all of your replies are visible in the @username tab in your home page sidebar. Updates starting with @username are replies, and Updates with @username elsewhere are considered mentions. Please note that if your account is private, users who are not following you will not see your @replies or mentions.

Yes. You can send a direct message to your follower. It's a private message between you and your follower.

Yes and Yes. You can not only setup multiple accounts on oGoing using the same email id, but also choose to send updates to followers on all your accounts, or specific accounts!

Now, when you go to home page, you can see all your accounts under the Update box. You can select which account you would like to send out the update, besides the current account that you are logged in. Once you link an account, it is always shown on the home page. You can choose to remove your linked account anytime.
