The Me card is the users' profile on their Windows Phone 7 smartphone. This is the place where they can check their most recent messages posted on various social networking accounts such as Facebook and Windows Live.

It's also the place that can be used to quickly respond or add a new message on your Facebook or Windows Live account. WM7 phone owners can find the Me card by clicking on Start and tapping the Me option.

The feature has been especially designed to meet any SNS (social networking services) user's demands.

Currently, Microsoft's platform supports Facebook and Windows Live accounts by default, so these services will be displayed on the Me card, if they are previously set up.

The company has plans to introduce Twitter support as well, but for the moment there's no native support for this service.

To post a message to your Facebook or Windows Live account, tap your most recent message in the Me card area and type in the message you want to appear.

The message can be posted on more than one social network account if the user chooses too. Simply check the box next to each account to choose which ones you want to post to.

The same procedure can be followed to comment on a friend's message or to like (or unlike) a friend's Facebook post.

Users can also update their profiles picture displayed in the Me card simultaneously with their pictures from one the two social networks: Facebook or Windows Live.

To change the profile's picture tap on the current one and find the one you want to replace it with. Move the picture as you see fit and tap the Crop option when you're content with the result.

Before clicking Done, check or uncheck the social networks accounts that you want your new picture to appear on.
