We have enhanced the HelpMeFind journal feature.

You can now add journal entries that can only be viewed by the members found on your HMF Friends list. This allows your group to share experiences amongst yourselves. Ideally, we would hope HMF members would share their insight and experience with everyone but we recognize there are times a group of members may want to communicate just between themselves.

You can now also add journal entries which are not shared with anyone; they can only be viewed by you. Use HMF to record your personal notes, comments or reminders.
