If a tree falls in a
forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a
sound?
This is a real concern for users
of most blogging and photosharing solutions: If you post a blog or
upload photos somewhere and nobody knows about them, are you really
"sharing"?
Multiply has been addressing this concern
for years; its unique messaging solution notifies your whole social
network -- direct and indirect contacts, alike -- whenever you post
something new.
Multiply has built its new Amazon
Wish-List feature to address a similar problem: If you add something to
your Wish-List but nobody knows about it, who will buy it for you? If
you already have an Amazon Wish-List, visit the setup page at http://multiply.com/setup/wish-list
and enter the e-mail address you used to register with Amazon. And if
you don't, this is the perfect time to start
one!
After
that Multiply will check your wish-list once a day and automatically
create a blog entry listing any new items you've added.
More
importantly, just like all other posts on Multiply, a new message will
get sent out to everyone in your social network. When your friends and
family log in to Multiply, they'll see on their home page that you've
added something new to your wish-list. Some other social networking
services or "personal page" tools may let you import and present your
whole wish-list on a page, but only Multiply provides a genuine
notification tool.
With
more people that you trust checking out your wish-list - your contacts
and their contacts
- chances are somebody has some familiarity with the items on it.
Whenever somebody adds a comment, the wish-list thread is bounced back
to the top of the home page for everybody in your network. (See the
"5 replies (5
new)" line in the previous image beneath Jeff's wish-list
post.) Multiply is unique in its tracking of replies for everything in
your network (and not just your stuff or your contacts) and combined
with the larger, trustworthy audience, conversations and discussions
happen. Using Multiply's wish-list feature won't guarantee somebody
buys you a present - especially if a 70" t.v. (Nice try, Jeff), but we
increase the chances and provide a great way for you to get some
feedback and advice.
Pessoal, tem um concurso rolando na internet que vai premiar o melhor blog em diversas categorias. There's a contest about the best blog in several categories.
The Multiply is, for the most part of us that are members, the best blog's host service of the internet. But, the more content we publish here and more our page attracts interest of surfers in the net, more lack we feel of a resource that is fundamental in any blog page: the possibility of visitors to leave comments.
The intention of this poll is to know of you, member of the Multiply, how much an option to unlock comments for non-members makes lack in your page. Please, vote and if possible leaves a comment.
I can't get this feature to work for the life of me. It tells me that I either don't have a wishlist or it's up-to-date..
I think this feature only looks for public wish lists (no one wants a private list shared with all and sundry). Is it possible that your Amazon wish list is set to "private"?
hi, Could you help me, I cant see my recent update in my multiply, and also when I sent personal message, I couldnt see in my multiply. Thanks for help me..
Hi, as much as i love multiply, i find the search engine very inefficient. I find it hard to search for specific songs that i want. Even when I try to search for songs I posted up myself, I can't! pls help.
It'd be great to have a new wishlist module, which would integrate amazon wishlist data, but this whole "notify everyone when I add something on amazon" is a little bit sneaky and bothersome. How do you "unregister" this feature?
Interesting. I have multiple wish lists (one for work, home, etc). Although I have my home wishlist set as my default the Multiply module is pulling my work wish list?! I'm also trying to figure out how we can unregister this feature :)
Speaking of wishlists, when will Multiply have a feature for the members to be able to chat with each other? I see my friends online but the most I can do at the moment is send a personal message.
I *hate* this feature. It posts to my blog on random occasions, even though I never add items to my amazon wishlist. My contacts are complaining. I tried to erase the link, but it won't change. HALP!

Did you ever figure out how to delete this amazon wish list? I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
how do I start a group?
