Multiply blog says the new features include live updating of the feed - which means the feed updates with every new post/reply, devaluing the refresh button. The right pane gets a live preview of the post. They designed it so that the users will feel no need to leave their inbox. They called it Panorama view and is currently available to premium members, though other users will get the new feature in the days to come.

Multiply's getting a new facelift - introducing major changes since the inception of Multiply 4.0. First, they added posting from Picasa and Live Gallery - very useful feature, btw. Next, they included cross-posting to FB and Twitter - something I really appreciate. Then, they added Multiply chat - OK, I guess but it's kinda cheap. They also tweaked Privacy settings, making Multiply even more powerful. Lastly, they redid the home page - Multiply now features this cool login page, a dark blue (and much less of an eyesore) header bar and a cool new favicon.

I guess Multiply's getting better, but if Multiply starts hosting apps, I'm leaving. Problem is, Multiply's becoming more like Facebook everyday. But then, Facebook owes it's popularity to a revolutionary technology it, say, copied from Multiply - the "news feed."

Some stuff I'd want from multiply - an AIR app.
