http://multiply.com/ “What I like about Multiply is the messages page that
lets me know when someone’s written something. Getting notified about friends’
posts makes blogging work. If I had to remember to check out someone’s blog…
well, I just wouldn’t be seeing their blog very often. I also like having pics,
blogs, etc. all in one spot.”
