Wordpress vs Blogger/Blogspot vs Multiply

for me, i like both, blogger and wordpress. blogspot than multiply. but in wordpress, you have to buy a domain to monetize it. but in blogger, you can have it for free.

i have only used blogger of these 3. i dont know much about the other 2

friendster. because this is my first socializing account, and i've been with friendster for like, 4 years now. or 5. my friends are all out there and im used 2 it

i like wordpress.the most important advantage:it has good plugin.what you can think what you can find. the second you can try to design your wordpress as you wish. the third you can find more and more themes,and it's free.

Multiply.com is my favorite hands down. I suppose the main reason why is because I want to share more than one kind of content with people I know. As much as I might have something to blog about, I also have tons and tons of photos that I want to share, occasionally videos that I want to share, recipes and reviews. And instead of doing each of these things on a different site and then using yet Another site to tie them all together somehow, I just use Multiply. It's all there for me in one place that way. The thing that first grabbed my attention when I joined Multiply back in 2004 was the alert feed. Not only did it let me know any time one of my contacts had a new post, and when someone had replied on one of my posts, but it also told me when someone had replied on one of my contacts posts. So if a conversation broke out somewhere, you wouldn't miss a thing (unless you weren't interested in the conversation and just let is slide off your feed page). Other advantages to using Multiply that I've grown to appreciate over the years: Unlimited photo uploads for free. That's HUGE! Especially when you want to share all those great pics of the kids with the grandparents. And you can get prints made from those pics, or photo cards, or calendar, or photo books incredibly easily. Making a photo book on Multiply was far easier than I've ever experienced elsewhere. They have an easy to use drag and drop system to add photos to your books right where you want them. And you can even put photos from contacts together into one book. So if several contacts posted pics from the same party or event, you can easily add them together into one printed book. And Multiply often has photo sales. (In fact, I think there's a free 50 prints deal right now. I don't remember the code but I see it posted on Twitter fairly frequently.) And unlike on Facebook, you can zoom in on photos to see the little details that you might otherwise miss. (I hate how Facebook shrinks your pics.) Recipes. When I first joined I thought it was really odd that they included a recipe sharing section. But over the years it's become a major resource for me, both to store recipes that I don't want to lose and to find new recipes among friends and fam. (And now when someone says to me, "Oh, can I get a copy of that recipe? I just tell them to check out my website.) Food says a lot about a person and now that I've gotten used to the recipe section, I find that it's a great way to get to know other people better. Conversation: This really goes right back to the alert feed that I mentioned earlier, but I found that on Multiply people are much more likely to comment on your posts than I see on other blogs (such as those on Wordpress or Blogger). Since I love conversation, I find this particularly compelling. And I think the main reason conversation is more likely to happen on Multiply than those other blogging sites is the fantastic feed that not only lets you know when there's a new post, but replies are included as well. When you miss out on other people's replies, you miss out on a lot of great information and a spectrum of viewpoints. I want to hear what others think, not just the original blogger's and my own thoughts. The back and forth that I've found on Multiply makes it much more of a mature site than others that focus on fluff. There's also community groups on Multiply. So I can talk to my contacts and network through my own personal site, but I can meet new people and find other people who are interested in the same things as me in the groups. Its nice having all of that sort of networking tied right in with my personally blogging and media sharing type of networking. And it all has alerts that show up in one highly customizable feed. Blogger has added a very simple feed. I don't find that it works anywhere near as well as Multiply's, even if you just compare it to the old-fashioned feed that Multiply had going 5 years ago. Does Wordpress have a feed at all? Having to RSS everyone's blog separately is a pain in the butt. Multiply's feed is so much easier to use than hooking together a bunch of RSS feeds into a reader. I've rattled on even more about Multiply here if you're interested -- http://mtutorials.multiply.com and on my personal site, http://barefootmeg.multiply.com There I get into the customizability of the feeds more as well as the fantastic privacy settings and the unparalleled customer support. I've been using Multiply since September 2004 and though I continue to try new sites to see where they're at and what they're like, I have yet to find anything that comes even close in terms of breadth and cohesiveness of features.
