===Videos===
Users can easily upload videos directly to Multiply, or they can pull video in from YouTube, Photobucket, Google Video, Metacafe, or myspacetv.com. Free users can upload up to 10 minutes (or 100mb of video footage). Premium members have a limit of 20 minutes (or 200mb).<ref>[http://multiply.multiply.com/journal/item/239/Introducing_the_Multiply_AutoUploader_Media_Locker_Premium_Service Multiply Staff Blog], "Introducing the Multiply AutoUploader, Media Locker, Premium Service"</ref>

===Calendar===
Users can post calendar entries for themselves, for their contacts, their network or even for public access (enabling users to keep personal entries, such as doctor appointments, private, while allowing a wider audience for such entries as a fund raising event that is open to the public).

Users have access to an aggregated calendar on their Inbox page that collects all of their calendar entries as well as those of their contacts and displays them in one calendar feed.

Calendar entries, as with all entries on Multiply, can be discussed within the calendar entry post, enabling members to not only announce an event, but discuss it as well.

===Reviews===
Users can add reviews to their website, not only rating and explaining their view on the product, but discussing it as well with friends and family. Reviews use a 5 star system so both those who post and those who reply can rate how well they liked a product.

===Recipes===
The recipe section was a component of Multiply at the time of its launch in 2004, but it was removed for a time. The recipe and marketplace sections were returned in 2007 due to popular demand.

===Marketplace===
The marketplace section is designed to be a way to showcase items that a person may want to pass on to contacts or to search for an item that a user's contacts may have.

===Music===
Users can upload and share original works through the music module on their page.

==Inbox newsfeed==
Multiply has had a newsfeed since its inception, variously called the "Explore" page, "My Multiply" and the "Inbox". This feed aggregates not only the user's posts, but those of the user's contacts, network and groups as well, using technology that Multiply has patented.<ref>[http://www.google.com/patents?id=KVeaAAAAEBAJ&dq=%22peter+pezaris%22 Google Patent Information], "Method and system for performing and sorting a content search"</ref> The inbox alerts users not only to new posts by their contacts or within their network, but it also notifies users of new replies to posts that users have shown an interest in. If a user ignores a post, then the post is not popped to the top of the page no matter how many new replies are made. In this way, users don't need to "clean up" their inbox because uninteresting posts simply "drop off" the page.

The feed is highly customizable, allowing the user to set filters to show specific posts. Filters can be saved and users can easily switch between them. In this way, users are only alerted to posts and replies that are interesting to them, though they can switch to a "wider" view of network or group activity when that is preferred.

==Groups==
In addition to networking with your "real life" friends and family, Multiply also provides a way to meet and socialize with other members through groups.

Registered users can 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, Places & Travel, Recreation & Sports, Religion & Beliefs, Romance & Relationships, Schools & Education, Science & History, and Other.

==Personal Website==
Though Multiply does provide a profile page for users, that is not the main focal point of a user's Multiply presence. Rather, each user has a home page where all of their recent content is aggregated. The content boxes on this home page can be rearranged and can be aligned into a one or two column format (or a mixture of both). Tagged content boxes can also be added and unwanted boxes can be hidden.

Users can customize the overall look of their site using either one-click customization tools that Multiply provides or by adding customizations with CSS.
