Making good use of Multiply

I notice that many of my contacts are not making any use of their own pages. Here's the things you can do:

1. Share photos. You get 1GB of space, which should be enough for a few hundred pictures. As with everything here you can restrict access to selected people. e.g. pictures of the kids can be just for the family

2. Keep a journal. Write anything you want

3. Post calendar dates. To let others know what you are doing or events coming up

4. Post reviews. I use this to log books I've read and films I've see

5. Buy and sell stuff. Most sites that let you advertise stuff will charge you to do it. This one is free. As you build a network of local people this becomes more useful

6. Post recipes. I'm no cook, but others are more interested

7. Post links. If you have a great web link, then share it. del.icio.us is better, but you can always post a link to your page there

8. Network. I see this as mostly being used to keep in touch with people I already know. I have 18 contacts and many of these have linked to each other, but many jus have me as a contact. Click around other people's contact lists and see who you know. This helps you to see their updates and will give you access to their restricted content.

Have a play and give me a shout if you need help
