X-Streams are a collection of posts about a specific topic. X-Streams can be private or have a bunch of people participating in them.

X-Streams can be used for a bunch of different things:

• Your personal X-Stream is a timeline of your achievements, comments and general stuff about you. It is also a feed of all the X-Streams that you are following.
• When you start a chat with someone or a group chat, an X-Stream is created that keeps an ongoing record of that chat.
• X-Streams are built around hashtags that can be included in any other comment. Example: If you use the hashtag #Chathouse3D in your post then the post will be added to the #Chathouse3D X-Stream. Anywhere that you see the #Chathouse3D hashtag you can click on it to see the #Chathouse3D X-Stream.
• You can follow X-Streams by clicking the green “Follow” arrow. You will then see all the updates to that X-Stream in your personal X-Stream.

To start a new X-Stream with one of your friends, just go to the X-Streams area and click on your friend's icon. You can click on anyone's icon pretty much anywhere to start or continue your X-Stream conversation with them or just to see their X-Stream.

Let's take a look at your personal X-Stream.
