New WebbliToolBar and Buddy System – more fun, much easier to use!

We want kids to get the best from WebbliWorld and all the exciting things the site has to offer. One of the best ways to ensure this is to listen to what our users have to say.  We receive huge amounts of positive feedback from kids and parents alike, which is really inspiring. It’s been really helpful in showing us how we can improve navigation within the site to enhance the overall WebbliWorld experience.  The result is our brand new Toolbar.

A clear drop-down menu allows kids to navigate easily from page to page.  They can also see if they’ve received any new comments, whether they’ve received a Wanda’s Award or whether another Webbli has requested to be their buddy.

This brings me to the new buddy system. This adds another friendly dimension to the comments system.  Kids can form a list of buddies – they can view WebbliStaks to find other Webblis with similar interests and invite them to be their ‘buddy’. Once logged in, their buddy list and the toolbar will alert them as to which of their buddies is online. This really brings the community to life as kids can leave comments for other Webblis, knowing that they will read them straight away.

Adding to and improving the site is one of the joys of working on WebbliWorld. And, it’s great to see the community taking shape. Our next exciting addition will be the WebbliDrome – our Aardman-designed cinema where kids can watch films and rate and comment on them. Watch this space!
