Blog EntryRecent press explosion roundupAug 7, '06 2:00 PM
for everyone
From time to time, we've taken time out to point to reviews or press coverage of Multiply. Most of us here are emotionally secure and all, but this type of attention still makes our hearts go pitter-patter.

So you can imagine what the ambient noise must have sounded like around the Multiply office during the last few weeks, as our press coverage... well, pretty much exploded multiplied. Sure, there was much pittering and pattering abound, but there was, more importantly, a general sense of happiness that, in a world where other (ahem) similar, yet very different, websites get tons of press (perhaps not for the right reasons), many of the same media outlets who report on those have finally taken notice of what we're doing.

So here's a quick rundown of a few of our favorite mentions. Some of these are in reference to our recent strengthening of our partnership with Transcosmos, some are about Multiply in general, and some are even in reference to one another, as is the nature of the blogosphere. One thing these have in common: they all seem to "get" it.

TechCrunch: Multiply aims to be distinct by focusing closely on limiting interactions to people who are already connected to each other. Beyond that, though, the system has a number of interesting features...

Red Herring: Net Startups Nab Funding

C|Net News.com: Users can also limit access to their Multiply [site]. If users feel more comfortable allowing only family members access to their baby pictures, for example, they can impose restrictions on that access when publishing the pictures...

Visible Networking: Multiply (again! Everybody talks about Multiply) allows users to share photos, blogs, videos, music, etc. with their social network...

Mashable: The site prides itself on its “real world” model - instead of encouraging users to add countless friends, Multiply labels your contacts based on your real-life relationships (grandmother, brother, step-mother etc).

Boca Raton News: Boca firm web site: ‘more privacy’ to deter predators

Talkin' Tech: What I really wanted to do was to upload some pictures but its features made me stick to it -- especially the way it shows me the stuff my multiply contacts has done.

On the Turning Away: Multiply…Your Presence Online?

So this is a bit of what's crossed our radar lately.

I just hope that all this press doesn't lead Multiply into selling out to major corporations. I love my Multiply just the way it is...free of too many sponsors,promotions, etc. I'm happy that Multiply is getting the recognition that it most definitely deserves, but I hope it doesn't change the system. I don't wanna hear music artists, movies, etc saying "Check us out on our Multiply! "

I love,love, love my multiply...and I guess I"m just being selfish about keeping good things to myself! =)

I've found this "Pulse beat" and feel alive
If I lose it, I lose my online drive

But do nothing to compromise
Good luck to you, Multiply
Keep your banner flying high

What you have just changed in video makes me not upload videos anymore. People come to our site to see our pics, writings, events, and most especially our videos. And those people must download a specific software for it? They have just an hour or even half an hour to watch it. And they must download that apple software?My site is about me and my friends. Some videos are not just mine nor my friends, but also with my classmates. They go to our site to see the come out of what we have shooted.And here in my country, we have so called "internet cafe" that we paid per hour. Most of us cant afford a PC nor an internet connection. Through this internet cafe we just pay per hour. And i think the software that we must download takes 2-3 hours. And that would be a waste of time. Even I, I'm the one who upload the video but I dont want to see it after coz it makes me so tiring to think that I have to download this and that.And i couldnt surf as many windows as I want. Please do have an attention to this. I dont like what you just did. It makes me stop making videos.

Multiply is Marvellous!

For the past two years, Multiply has allowed me allow to keep in touch with lost friends and colleagues which is excellent.

And what's most important to me, I get to communicate with all Multiply anytime, from all over the globe in a simple yet effective & fun way.

Thanks a great bunch, Multiply!

I loved all the new stuff! In fact I was like a crazy looking for the option to change my page layout until I noticed that now we can just drag the sections to and fro and drop them in the place desired.

I would like to suggest a few new features that would help a lot:
- In Music, the ability to change music tags and delete them
- In Blog, more flexibility to choose the place where the images I upload will fit in the text and the option to put a caption under them.

That's it, thanks for all.

posting blogs with sense and meaning...sharing pictures and videos with people you know...message threading to almost every aspect of the multiply site...keeping tabs on who visited who and who read whose journals...these are just some of the things that made multiply very different from others. and i made quite some few good friends over here, real friends.

Rodeo reciente el 7 Ago de la explosión de la prensa, De vez en cuando, hemos llevado tiempo hacia fuera el punto a las revisiones o la cobertura de prensa de se multiplica. La mayor parte de aquí somos emocionalmente seguros y todos, pero este tipo de atención todavía hace que nuestros corazones van pitter-repite. Puedes imaginarse tan lo que debe haber sonado el ruido de ambiente como alrededor de la oficina del multiplicar durante las últimas semanas, como nuestra cobertura de prensa… bien, bonito estallado mucho multiplicado. Seguro, allí era mucho pittering y repitiendo abundan, pero allí eran, más importantemente, general sentido de felicidad que, en un mundo donde otros (ahem) similares, con todo muy diferentes, los Web site consiguen a toneladas de la prensa (quizás no por las razones derechas), muchos de los mismos enchufes de los medios que divulgan sobre los finalmente han tomado a aviso de lo que estamos haciendo. Tan aquí está una reducción rápida de algunas de nuestras menciones preferidas. Algunos de éstos están en referencia a nuestra consolidación reciente de nuestra sociedad con Transcosmos, algunos son se multiplican alrededor generalmente y algunos son uniformes en la referencia a una otra, al igual que la naturaleza del blogosphere. Una cosa que éstos tienen en campo común: que se parecen todos “lo consiguen”. TechCrunch: Multiplicar las punterías para ser distinto centrándose de cerca en la limitación de interacciones a la gente que está conectada ya el uno al otro. Más allá de eso, aunque, el sistema tiene un número de características interesantes… Arenques rojos: Los arranques netos Nab el financiamiento C|Net News.com: Los usuarios pueden también limitar el acceso a su se multiplican [sitio]. Si los usuarios se sienten más cómodos permitiendo que solamente los miembros de la familia tengan acceso a sus cuadros del bebé, por ejemplo, pueden imponer restricciones ante ese acceso al publicar los cuadros… Establecimiento de una red visible: ¡Multiplicarte (otra vez! Todos habla se multiplica) permite que los usuarios compartan las fotos, los blogs, los videos, música, el etc. con su red social… Mashable: El sitio se enorgullece en su modelo “del mundo real” - en vez de usuarios que animan para agregar a amigos incontables, multiplica etiquetas que tus contactos basaron en tus relaciones de la vida real (abuela, hermano, madrastra etc). Noticias de Boca Raton: Web site firme de Boca: `más aislamiento' para disuadir depredadores Tech de Talkin: Qué realmente deseé hacer era upload algunos cuadros pero sus características me hicieron el palillo él -- especialmente la manera me demuestra que la materia mi multiplica contactos ha hecho. Al dar vuelta lejos: ¿Multiplicar… tu presencia en línea?
