Blog EntryFive million users!Jun 6, '07 6:15 PM
for everyone
the number of millions of users on Multiply is approximately equal to fiveWhile a cursory Web search for "five million" returns an inordinate amount of doom and gloom, we at Multiply just came across a positive instance of the number.

We're quite proud (overjoyed, really!) to announce that in the early hours this morning, our five millionth registered user joined Multiply. Even more awesome is the fact that we only passed the four million mark less than two and a half months ago! To us, this is nothing short of phenomenal -- the first million took nearly a year and a half!

Just to give you an idea of the scale, this means that if Multiply were a US metropolitan area, our population would be closing in on the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. As a country in Europe, we'd be about on par with Denmark and Finland! As a Philippine province, it'd be nearly one and a half Cebus!

Numbers may be impressive to throw around, but when one remembers that this is a measurement of the number of people who've joined Multiply, it seems even more monumental. Five million people now have access to a better way to securely share their memories with more of the people who matter to them.

So while we'd like to personally thank each and every person who's joined so far... that could be a bit difficult. So we'll thank all of you at once -- you can share. :-)

Thank you!

Okay, Multiply SQL-query geeks, how many are active?

I know. Need to define active. Let's say... how many unique Multiply accounts have been accessed within the past 2 weeks, that were created prior to the past 2 weeks, and have not since been canceled?

Multiply is truly powered by love between friends interconnected in it. Friendship and love from the hearts.
And since it is powered by love, it will be something huge; far bigger beyond any other things out there!

Holy crap, are there THAT many Filipinos on here that it was put in Cebu terms? Is that the whole community? Americans and Filipinos, five million strong? That said, that was a pretty cool shout out.

Multiply was in a major publication here in the Philippines, the Manila Bulletin.. It's not actually a writing about multiply, its with yahoo closing some of its services.. But it is written there, a suggestion, telling people that a newer site is becoming phenomenal, easy to use and much more of services - Multiply!!

I Myself have been trying also to fill the gap where yahoo photo users are having a hard job to find a new community to join & have been posting hundreds of items in different places to try n draw them in to here.. If multiply can reach 5 million they surely can handle those 37 million that use the yahoo photo items,
