- This article is about the website. For the mathematical concept, see multiplication.
Multiply is a social networking service with an emphasis on allowing users to share media - such as photos, videos and blog entries - with their "real-world" network.
Multiply provides blog cross-posting; blog entries posted to Multiply can be automatically posted to a LiveJournal, Blogger or TypePad account. There is also an option to post via e-mail or MMS, enabling posting from mobile phones. Users are also able to post reviews of movies and books, and to share a calendar of events.
Multiply is especially flexible in that users can choose to edit their background and theme colors, but the ability to incorporate CSS makes customizing more extensive.[1] Many users have page far different from the base theme due to their mastery of CSS.
On Multiply, a user's network is made up of their direct contacts, as well as others who are closely connected to them through their first-degree relationships. Additionally, users are encouraged to specify the nature of their relationship with one another, making it possible to share content with their entire network of closely-related people, or subsets thereof including friends, family, professional contacts, and so on.
Multiply ventures where many sites have failed, that is, to be the one-stop shop for a user's Web 2.0 experience. What enhances their bold bid is the capability that Multiply empowers its users with. There is a blog module, of course. To go beyond that, a user can upload videos, and host them on a their page rather than a 3rd-party page. Videos can also be added from major sites, notably YouTube. The user can also upload photos into their albums, hosted in the photo module. Users may upload as many photos as they wish -- no limit. There is also a music module, a reviews module, a marketplace module, and a recipe module.
Registered users can also create groups on Multiply. These groups exist outside of the "network" structure, enabling people with certain interests to share the aforementioned types of media with others who share their interests, but may not be closely connected to them through relationships.
Groups are categorized as Business, Computers & Internet, Cultures & Community, Entertainment & Arts, Friends & Family, Games, Government & Politics, Health & Wellness, Hobbies & Crafts, Money & Investing, Music, Places & Travel, Recreation & Sports, Religion & Beliefs, Romance & Relationships, Schools & Education, Science & History, and Other.
