Multiply.com, Another Social Networking Tool

Wednesday June 29, 2005
How was I not aware of Multiply.com??? This site is similar to Yahoo My Web 2.0 and del.icio.us in that you share content, links, blogs, even audio and video with others in your network. I started a new account and here's what I like so far:
  • Sign-up is quick and easy. Took me exactly 3 minutes.
  • The next step is to add people to your network of friends or business acquaintances. Multiply.com gives you the option, quite conveniently, of importing from Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, GMail, Orkut, MySpace or Live Journal. And if you don't add them at this time, you can always add them again later.
  • Okay, so here's my Multiply.com page. Fast and easy. Now I get to add stuff to it. Multiply.com gives you a lot of storage space (unlimited for digital content), plus they enable video, music sharing (up to 20 files a month), and the capacity to upload 150 photos a month. That's a lot.
  • And, they have themes. There's a few that I wanted to try out on my site; although the really cool ones are reserved for paying members (you knew that there was a catch somewhere!:

Speed of sign-up is good, a little more info would be more useful. Need one get another account on another system or may one use something like OpenID? Why does it throw anywhere up to 150, or more, persistent cookies at one? With expiry dates five years from now?
Does their TOS allow one to retain copyright over photos, videos and published text? Thank you.
