Most of my social life online are on Multiply and I can't help but notice that most of my friends are novices in the site, even though they probably used the service for three years and counting. So, I decided to make a list on what my friends (and probably you yourself) are missing from this great service.
# 5 Post Via Mobile
This feature is relatively new and is, at present, available only in the Philippines. You can post photos, videos and blog entries straight from your mobile phone, through MMS!
# 4 Import Content
Suppose you see this great video on Youtube and chose to share it on Multiply. Most people will think of their two options - embed the video on their blog or download the video and post it on the Videos page. Some users, however, do not know that they can import the video - by simply selecting the service and entering the URL of the video. You can also do the same on photos, and, as you will see, blog entries.
# 3 Posting Options
In most blogging hosts, we get options on whether to allow comments, or configure the Post date and time. In Multiply, these features are a little more hidden - you can enable them on the Posting Options page. Another feature you can enable is cross posting - I can post a blog entry here on Blogger and it gets automatically posted to Multiply - and vice versa. In fact, this entry is being cross posted to Multiply. You can also enable other media types like Recipes and a Marketplace.
# 2 The Multiply Toolbar
This is a handy Firefox/IE add-on that gives links to the most basic Multiply features from any page on the web. For me, my life on Multiply without the toolbar is unimaginable.
# 1 The Multiply Menu
In most websites, clicking on the logo redirects you to their homepage. In Multiply, clicking the logo opens up a menu for some commonly used links such as the Inbox or the Post New Content Page. This can be used on all pages with the logo on it and what surprises me most is how very few of my friends actually know about it, let alone use it.
