Users

Users are individuals registered to use your eCrowds platform. The user interface allows for administrators to specify user email addresses, first and last name, and usernames. All of this information is processed by the eCrowds system to allow for user monitoring and tracking, in addition to providing a means by which to identify contributors to the site. For example, if John A has posted 20 blog entries and 40 comments, this information is utilized when other users want to sort and filter content by contributing user, most active, etc.
