This is our fourth and final installment of Why Multiply is Safe
(see previous entries Defining Relationships, You Control Your Content, and the particularly riveting Know What's Public). Over those last few entries, we've shown you a few examples of ways we've made it simple and straightforward to protect yourself while still sharing intimate bits of your life with your friends, family and others on Multiply.
Today, we'll take a look at profiles on Multiply, and how to use them to your advantage.
Your Multiply profile is a great way to let your network know who you are. Multiply's search feature utilizes this information, allowing users to find closely-related people in their network, people who may also live nearby or share their interests.
Lots of websites allow you to search profiles, but Multiply keeps it relevant by showing only those closely connected to you through your contacts, and safe by giving you complete control over who is able to search for you.
For instance, you may want to keep your contact information -- such as your address, phone number and the school you go to -- available to people you actually know. Or you may want to open up your professional information to a wider, yet still closely connected audience. Multiply lets you do just this; for each type of information, choose whether it should be visible to "Everyone," "Your Network" or "Your Contacts."
Just one more way Multiply lets you experience and share with your network... on your terms.
