Will look forward to seeing how Multiply does in the 4th quarter. Multiply, I've come to discover, is truly a networking dream. Glitches fixed, questions answered by both users and administration. Best of all, they use their own product...which says alot. I'll be staying at Multiply for the only the customer service but the customer care. I agree wholeheartedly with Absynthe.

Multiply has made a lot of changes for all of us. I should know, as there's almost over 1000 people in a group over there started by one of my friends from 360. Posts don't disappear. We're not sent messages stating that pages don't exist, unless they were actually delete by the user. Old blog entries don't suddenly appear, unless there's a current thread of conversation. Customer service actually answers you. Other Multiply users answer you. I'm not going back to Yahoo services. Spam gets through. Reports of abuse aren't taken care of (and I don't think they look into them). Stalking isn't taken care of when it's reported. From what I've heard from other long time Multiply users, there really aren't all that many problems, which is great for the rest of us that have left. I'm happy to say that I've found a product for blogging and networking that actually works and lives up to it's boasting. Hooray for Multiply!
