ShoutBurst is made for many different groups of people. The most common types of groups are friends, family, colleagues, coworkers, student clubs and other organizations. For more information on the uses of ShoutBurst, check out http://www.shoutburst.com/about.php
Anyone can sign up for an account as long as you are over the age of 13 and only takes a couple of minutes. Once you sign up, you can either create your own ShoutBoard (and invite people you know to join) or join a ShoutBoard you have been invited to by a board owner.

The My Groups section allows you to see all of the ShoutBoards you belong to. This lets you see how many unread shouts you have, the last shout date, and your alias. The icons at the left of the table show what type of user you are. Crown meaning owner, shield meaning admin, and blank meaning you are a regular user of the board.
Within ShoutBurst there are three user levels. All three user levels can perform the functions below them. Below are the three different types and what they allow you to do.
- Crown:(Board owner) Controls user signups, ShoutBoard title and settings.
- Shield:(Board admin) Can censor other posters.
- Blank:(Regular user) Can post shouts, events, and polls.
Log into your ShoutBurst account using your email and password. On the ShoutHome page, you will notice a section with a heading called “Preferences”. Under the title of “Nicknames” you can change your nickname to what ever you want by filling in the text box, choosing the board you want to change your name on, and clicking "Update Alias".
Shouting can be done from the bottom of any Shout Board page you belong to. A list of these can be found on the Shout Home Page under “My Groups”. New to ShoutBurst and not part of any groups yet? You have to be invited by a board owner first! Ask the owner of the board you would like to join to send you an invitation.
All the ways to format a shout can be seen here (link to shout formatting page). Check back often for new icons and shoutEffects!

ShoutBurst easily allows each member to create custom polls that the entire ShoutGroup can vote on. Simply fill in the poll question you would like to ask the board and fill in the responses you want to offer. Want to put in more than two responses? Click the “add another response” link as many times as you need for your answers. After you have filled in all your responses click the "submit poll" to send it out!
To create an event, go to the ShoutBoard that you would like to create your event for. Creating the event on a ShoutBoard will let everyone who is friends with you on that board see the event you created. This will also insert the event on everyone’s calendar. The following five fields are available to help you describe what’s going on.
Within ShoutBurst there are three user levels. All three user levels can perform the functions below them. Below are the three different types and what they allow you to do.
- Event Title: The name of your Event (Example: Eric’s Birthday)
- Event Date: The date which you would like your event to occur (Example: September 12th 1981)
- Event Location: The name people use to describe the event location (Example: Eric’s House)
- Event Address (map):The formal address of the event location. (Example: 8 Here St. Howell, NJ 08527)
In order to edit an event, go to the ShoutBoard where you originally put the event and click the pencil icon in the top right corner. You will then be able to edit all the different parts of the event.
