Another blog site bites the dust

Besides posting photos here, I use Multiply.com for G-rated blogging. A large number of people went to Multiply after Yahoo 360 shut down.

It was a nice easy site to use and you could do a number of things on it.

Well today Multiply let it's users know that December 1 they will no long support social media as it was and instead just focus on it's online retain business that has according to them like 350 million users in Indonesia and the Phillipines.

They used to have their HQ in New York and then moved it to Florida. Then a short while back they moved to Indonesia since that area of the world built up their online ebay type service which Americans did not care for.

So now they are flushing non Indonesia/Phillipines users down the toilet and chucking it all come December.

Don't know where I'll go for G-rated social blogging, will have to see what other may be doing. I don't like Facebook and will not use it, so that is out.

Multiply was well liked since you could load photo albums, music and video files, etc which Blogger doesn't do.

Oh well, there is always change in the world so it's not like it hasn't happen before or will again one day.

  1. I'm working with a group that is building a replacement site to Multiply, in addition to the regular m'ply features (including music upload, we will have a large forum area and the ability to form groups. I am also pushing strongly for less censorship than m'ply used to have! We have a beta test version up on line already. Let me have an email contact at nathanjones.art@googlemail.com and I'll keep you posted.
