It's kind of hard to believe, but nearly three months have passed since we unveiled the Multiply Guestbook feature... and homepages haven't been the same since.
As we mentioned in the original announcement, guestbooks on the Web aren't anything new or revolutionary, but we recognized the unique value they could add to the Multiply experience: allowing discussions to revolve around people, the same way they already do around content like photo albums, videos and blog entries. And just like all other types of content on Multiply, one can easily choose just how widely or narrowly to share their Guestbook with others, be it their contacts, network or everyone.
Now that you've had some time with the feature, we're interested in hearing how you've been making use of Multiply Guestbooks. How have they changed the way you keep in touch with the people you know?
it's easier for me to say hi to my friends. there are times that i just want to greet them but i dont want them to send them private messages since it's just a hello.
the guestbook is also a good way to give feedback about a whole multiply site in general. some conduct their business here and i think customers can write a feedback or two about the services offered by these professionals using the guestbook.
The guestbooks are also kind of a nice public forum where a message is open to anyone and not just for a specific individual. I do agree that it is easier to say hello to someone with it because of that.

Is there anyway to get our guestbook's to have say user badges on the right handside ( tiny icons instead of headshots which cause slow load-ups of whatever & callbacks to the headshot owners ) - ( Big bandwidth saver ) And minus the headshots within the messages - - as like within some Commercial Forum program,s - This would be a first for a website host - in the world as all other methods are or where made for a commercial forum pakage... -- Extra buttons for admins within the main viewing area on one's site or Group.. ---- Better resizeing of the guestbook to anysize We want... --- Chance of xtra admin's within the said guestbook that could remove said posts at times they want -- With a option like that - It would make the MULTIPLY - Guestbook a LIVE FORUM... of Which there is no said FREE HOST In the world that offer's this for free. -------- >
OPTIONS To set photos to autosize to the size of the guestbook - to stop those whom add LARGE Photos with a small guestbook - which can screw up a complete web layout...
All items on our sites & group's need better RESIZING OPTIONS
i liek but there a bug wen postin graphics on the guestbooks i have to edit my reply most times for graphics to show ups.. graphics from liek glittergraphics.com myspace graphics Cool Flash Toys at REVOLUTIONMYSPACE.com Sexy & Romantic glitter graphics from S e x i l u v . c o m
go look my guestbook from fwenz who post graphics in my guestbook some not show up caz them have to edit
I don´t like very much the full entry view. It seems very non-aesthetic. cant´it be like the boxes, which you click and and in its own page you can see the entries?
I think the guestbook is a very nice feature! As for the question how it has changed the way to keep in touch with the people I know, actually the guestbook allows me to keep in touch with people I don't know :) For people I know, I have other means, like email, IM, PM, to stay in touch. But the guestbook allows people who chance upon my blog to leave a message, say hi, give comments on my blog, etc.
It would be really great however if the guestbook could be opened up for non-multiply users, so that my friends who are not on multiply can leave a message if they pay a visit. Other blog engines like blogger, wordpress, allow this with a security code to prevent spam-comments.
I hid it because people started putting up big glittering animated images that are heavy to load and make my Multiply appearance resembles MySpace, which I'm not so fond of.
I was very happy with my Guestbook, with people leaving their messages, images etc but one day all the content disapeared, just vanished. I went really disgusted and decided not use it any longer.
its like instant chat-box [editing the title] haha this is a great feature ive just posted from MUDS that if you can put a check box to the message wheter to select all/de-select all and selecting y choice in terms of deletion of post/comment
It is much better if we could choose the design for our guestbook or even design it ourselves. Our current guestbook looks a bit bulky, but functionally it's perfectly fine. Perhaps at least allow us to change the size of the guestbook? ^_^
In fact, the first thing I did was to disable Guestbook! I want my homepage clean... Besides, if anyone wants to talk with me, he/she can always send me a private message.
Multiply's Guestbook is equivalent to Orkut's Scrapbook, and they share the same lack of privacy and control over who can post there.

that's why you can limit who can post there by just setting it to your network only.. :D
it would be easier and more practical if, like blog, viedo, and photo comments, the guestbook comment can be deleted by the site owner or the thread starter (author).this is because some guestbook entries are neither appropriate nor intelligible. and some of us would like to "boast" guest remarks but hide those inappropriate ones.
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time.

You see what i mean - this thread is soley about the guestbook & we have DUH'S Posting other kind of crap. -- whom the hell wants to visit that i petition ( 016007506034 ) site that has more spys & loggers on..
If your going to post this kind of CRAP - Make another thread or post & title is as you have in your post within here... - or yet again post it on the Anti-slavery group here on MP..
dont post this rubbish in a post that has nothing to do with this thread.. also why have you got a blank site -- Smells a spammer........
Its cause of users like you - to why users dont use the GB Much....
I'm really thanks for this new fiture..It's really help me..n_n yeah,just leave the message and then reply it..That's so simple!!^.^b i hope,multiply can make new simplicity fiture again like this one..n_nb i like guestbook..Nyehehehe..~~
Absolutely, the GB is great! Recently I got a lot of nasty messages left in the GB. Some comments about how not appropriated to the clothes I have worn, just like that. Even more, the contents I have had written in my blog were rubbish. I have deleted and block the users of Multiply of this way. Because I don't understand any of the reasons not "why" but "how" they hate me? I never know-ed any them, better yet....of their existence in our beloved Multiply.
It would never easy to stop of such messages to more come in the GB or in any other sections. I am very proud of Multiply and being user. Still I am. Let us makes the best of the GB. I have learned a lot through Multiply, then know-ed users by names without meet them face-by-face. In the future who knows?
I love the GUESTBOOK feature. I had some of my entries private to other people, and it seemed that the guesbook made the public viewers add me on their sites. It's sort of an introduction to others who haven't tried to use Multiply. I'm excited for more new features in the future! Thanks!
the guestbook feature is great, but others still want to put in other guestbooks and chat boxes, all because the multiply guestbook is only for multiply users. it would be a good help to maked the guestbook open to anybody, so then other users won't put other services into their sites.
hi! am new to this site, nearly one week since i joined. I been to other sites for dating, friends, music and stuffs, but nothing has caught my attention better than MULTIPLY. I like how organize multiply space is. You can just ulpoad anything on it! I LIKE THE GUESTBOOK ENTRY COZ you can see all the messages and the replies in one place. MORE POWER & KEEP IT UP GUYS ^-^ btw, WOULD IT BE BETTER YOU CAN MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CONTACTS. hOw about showing there if whose contacts are ONLINE. Thanks again *-* ^-^
I don´t like very much the full entry view. It seems very non-aesthetic. cant´it be like the boxes, which you click and and in its own page you can see the entries?
Have to agree with 0saibhakta. It stretches my homepage & spoils the whole layout.
Would very much like to use the guestbook feature without it screwing up my layout. Sorry peeps.
it would be easier and more practical if, like blog, viedo, and photo comments, the guestbook comment can be deleted by the site owner or the thread starter (author).
They can. Just make sure you are viewing the dedicated guestbook page (which is the user's site url /guestbook) and you will see the Delete links next to your own comments, or next to all of them if it's your guestbook.

Great one. I am really updated to the meassages of my friends aboard.
How about the chat box which I found in one website that they were offering? Is it applicable on this site? Please let me know, because I am interested to have it on my site. And if it is applicable where will I place it? which post I can place it?
I saw some multiply users that they have it already. I do not know when I asked them they can not answer me.
Never mind the whingers, having a guest book is a great idea. you can just pop in to say hello, or you can use it to have a bit of a chat..... great idea multiply. you get my vote.
I use it mostly as a - well, guestbook. I mean that I drop a line when I visit a site whose owner I don't really know - and I appreciate it when an occasional visitor does the same to me. It's also nice for small remarks to friends, like: "Hi - great new theme/headshot ---". And "how's your cold"; "happy birthday", etc.
it's a good addition, a bonus, especially if you just wanna drop a line or two for someone outside of the normal reply functionality for posts. thank you.
The guestbook helps me a lot in promoting my site.I usually use it to reach out Multipliers who's not in my network by signing in my visitors' guestbooks whenever I got the time to visit their sites.
I hide mine. I like it when peeps just stop by and say hi and just write something. But hate it so much when someone is starting to put graphics in it. It's somehow annoying. I feel like i'm in friendster site. :D
I love the guestbook. The one thing that's annoying though- after adding a reply, it goes back to the home page not the guestbook page which gets quite tedious when replying to several postings. Did you guys miss that link?
hello everyone, this is new beginner chatter in your site. please join me anay time. this is good site in the world. thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...............................
i do like the idea of the guest since i came to multiply since i meet new people from all over the world and i hope it stays in the near future and i like to say hello to everyone in multiply and if you all need help on computer hardware problems you can send them to my guest
