Blog EntryWhat's on your Wish-List?Apr 10, '07 5:47 PM
for everyone
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.

Why do I doubt that the price of a 70-inch TV is really "too low to display?"

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.

You'll find a link on the side of your "My Network" page.

My biggest request:
I want emails when people reply to either a blog/post made BY me... or someone REPLIES to a post I make.

So, for example, if I make a blog, I want informed on everyone that replies. This I can do.

If someone else makes a blog, and I write a comment, I only want to be emailed when someone replies to MY POST, not the whole blog. This I can't do.

I'm sorry if I get your message wrong,
but there is an option "Forward replies to... your email add" on the post menu.

I click that and every reply will go into my email so I know whenever people reply to my post.

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, 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.

Very interesting idea. I'd still like to see where you can post book reviews and it links to the Amazon referral program.

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 :)

WISH LIST #1

Stop deleting our playlists please!!!!
jan1972 wrote on May 21, '07
ok, I created an Amazon wishlist at amazon.de. Then I went to my Multiply account. And here I get the following error-message:

"There do not appear to be any items on your wishlist or your wishlist is up to date."

That's wrong.

What is my mistake???

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.

Do not buy from HERE.. I got scammed. Why does multiply allow this?

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.
