Frequently Asked Questions

---------------------------

Just some quick question and answer tips

1) How do I friend my alumni friends?

You can click on "People Search" on the left hand tab of the page

and search by first or last name or other criteria

2) What are all those underlined things in my profile?

This is a powerful feature we have. Say you listed your favorite teacher

as "Mrs Goto" you can then click on "Mrs Goto" and see all other alumni

who have entered the same thing.

3) My class does not have a community what do I do?

If your class doesn't already have a community you are free to start

one and be the moderator. We are always looking for people to help.

4) How do I add friends and why should I?

If you look up a profile you can select "Add as friend" under their

picture. For those unfamiliar with the concept by adding friends they

join your "network". YOu can quickly view all your friends and by clicking

on their profile view their friends. These connections are the power

of the site as it allows you to interact with other alumni.

5) Do I need to upload a picture and what kind should that be?

No you do not need to upload a picture, but we highly recommend it. You

can also upload multiple pictures if you choose. Keep in mind pictures

will be viewable to other so please keep it clean. If you don't have

a picture we can snap a picture of you at an alumni meeting, pau hana

event or craft fair.

6) Who is Dave? Who is Global Pau Hana? Who is Peoplebridge?

I am David Komatsu from the class of 1987 and currently the President

of the Moanalua Alumni Association. It has always been a goal of myself

and the Alumni Association to create ways to help link alumni together

and this project has been my "pet project"

Global Pau Hana is a world-wide grassroots community that helps people

with an affinity to Hawaii. It began in the Bay Area to help Hawaii

people connect with each other and those back in Hawaii. I am currently

affiliated with Global Pau Hana and as such plan to have some events

linking the alumni and Global Pau Hana (they are all real nice people

even though most of them did not go to Moanalua)

Peoplebridge is a company run by the founder of Global Pau Hana and is

the maker of the software that makes our Moanalua MenePage site what it

is. They built and designed the interface and sell it to alumni, church

or other types of groups.

7) Is my personal information safe? What would it be used for?

By contract the Moanalua Alumni Association owns all information on the

site and gives Peoplebridge the right to store this data for us. We not

sell or otherwise distribute the information with the following exceptions

a) We will release name/address/phone information to reunion planning

committees for your class.

b) We reserve the right to e-mail or send postal mail for Alumni Association

use such as sending reunion information or information about homecoming

or other events.
