« Extreme Democracy | Main | Boris » MultiplyI've been looking at a new "artificial social network" (aka "yet another social network") called Multiply, which allowed me to import my orkut contacts and invite 'em, something I thought was a little weird (should they have something to say about that? - well, maybe not, it's just an invitiation... but isn't orkut going to be pissed? probably.) I made the import anywhere, and over 80 people confirmed. Several others sent me messages - sick of social networks, don't like the canned but supposedly "personal" message, or just want to know if this is the one that'll be worthwhile. Bala Palai reminds me that it's not the utilities, but the people that matter, and I say that you have to be able to connect with the people, so if the system slows to a crawl at full load or the interface is gnarly, you don't find the other actual humans. What I do like so far about Multiply is that it was reasonable easy to create a phot album ... and photos are what make social networks cool, in my opinion, so the easier to upload and the easier to find and view, the better. (flickrmay be the ultimate photo site; it'll be hard for Multiply to beat it.) jon posted this at 1:05 PM |
