I have worked within theory what I found was that within my own blogging experience was that there was a discrete nature to all of this once everything was set up for me. I would hope that most know I will not be looking for a place, which takes away ones privacy. I literally took this afternoon to look at the pros and cons. I would hope that there is not a judgment as to where I am resided. That would be the last area, which I wish. Yet there is good control and bad control. I learned back a long time ago that there is a large difference to this word we call control. Everyone from what I understand does wish to have nearly the same areas, which Multiply has afforded. I myself do wish for the same. Within a manner of blogging we all have blocked people and choose our friends in accord to what WE felt appropriate. The ideal situation is to afford each persons there own right to blog as they feel appropriate. Everyone does have there own means and ways. I don’t wish to have any sites posted on my site as of yet but this might be the time to trust. One assumption would be that everyone wishes to be within control.
Imagine this for a moment. Nearly everything that you have posted has been observed and seen by way of Multiply. What I found years ago what that it took a combination of a few to afford everyone what was seen as the most appropriate. From what I have gathered is that this has always been paramount. What it comes down to is a combination of many things. If you do afford me one week, I assure you I will have several sites, which with the aid and assistance of some friends whom do know what they are doing – there will be something productive. I am not looking to gain anything from it. The merit is within allowing freedom within all realms without a nuisance. That my friends is not an easy one – yet I assure you that there will be something afforded to you.
If you sign underneath, I promise you not just by way of myself – but in concert with several people, there shall be a site or a few sites from which we can all make a vote on. If I obtain at least 100, names placed on here. The goal here is to do better or at best afford you what we all had within the infancy of multiply yet something new. I guess that does take trust. As well, if you can mention by your nickname – in brief the five things, which you find most important to you.
I can only assure you an understanding of what each person desires. That has been pinnacle within my online experience as well as in building systems. The choice is yours.
Sincerely,
Jack
* this does take some trust.
Jack, I'm really in flux where to go next and I'm not sure where I want to go. Right now Id settle for the place most of my friends from here are going, which means I might have to blog in a couple sites. I appreciate any research you wish to share with others and will plan to do the same. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDouglas - I can appreciate that.

ReplyDeletewell said My dear, Yes I am looking for a site I can feel comfy at as well as having those friends whom I can trust and that have been loyal and very supportive to me too.Question is is what site and who will follow me , hope we can all find a safe enviroment to go too when Multiply sinks the ship. x
Rosie I thank you for your thoughts. I do know your thoughts as I have known you for a long time. I am not promoting myself.
ReplyDeleteI am taking in a concensus.
I have looked around at several other sites already; and have found one that seems to stand out to me. Both for privacy issues and a sense of community. That is why I shared a new contact address of http://www.blogster.com/dairybear69/ for myself and hope to have friends follow. Thanks for your time and understanding...hugs, Jeff
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the time Jeff and understand full well what your stating here. Thank you as a friend.
ReplyDeleteDairy ear, your Blogster looks interesting. Does it offer privacy selections.
ReplyDeleteJack - thank you for taking on such a project. I like the Inbox - not only on the PC but in the mobile. And, mobile is a must for me. That and easy photo displays. Thanks!!
Grammy I am only taking a concensus. Myself don't use blogster. Yet I am all I am trying to do is see the choices of all nothing more nothing less.
ReplyDelete"If you sign underneath, I promise you not just by way of myself – but in concert with several people, there shall be a site or a few sites from which we can all make a vote on."
ReplyDeleteYes, you can go in and put on your choice of privacy settings...it seems to be fairly appropriate....thanks, Jeff

ReplyDeleteThat is a given right in all facets of life.
Ive signed up for accounts on thoughts .com........and bloggers........I'm researching both as I go along......so far I like thoughts .com...best......let me know what you come up with Jack......my needs are basic ones, I like an arena where it is easy to meet new friends, (bloggers seems hard to do that).....also the site needs to be able to stream video and pictures I know thats a big issue for you too......
ReplyDeleteFrani
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be able to:
- create my own front page
- display photos in my blogs
- put videos in my blogs
- have the choice of allowing non members to see my post
- bring some of my Multiply blogs with me ... easily
I have thought this over Pamela, when I knew that there was going this would come. I literally am staying right here. I listened to one friend and then three others and now what I am looking to gather is exactly what you mentioned. I have not went in any direction Pam. Yet I am just trying to get the feel of what
ReplyDeleteneeds are out there. Thereafter, I shall see but this truly is a compilation ..........what I found was everyone wanted to have a unity.
I have already fixed the situation with doing back ups on my own......but I thought I would take the time. It's all within trust.
...............................Thank you for affording this Frani as it's all I wished to know objectively!
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks....Jack
I appreciate and trust you to come up with some great options for us Jack.......hugs.

ReplyDeleteThis is not apart of the request.
ReplyDeleteIf I may add this is not for a promotion of ones site - it's a questionaire in English done...........Objectively and with Diplomacy.
ReplyDeleteMy criteria - blogging of course, ability to upload photos and videos. I also want my friends from other countries to be able to log onto the sight. I am test driving Blogster.com right now. I really like their policy on no harassment, stalking and threatening people. also no multiple users. If caught they ban you.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has there own criteria Sharon. This sounds like on of several good site. The merit seems decent yet within all of this unity comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteAgain not for myself but I am just letting this flow to see what a common denominator comes out of this. Thank you!
I hate looking for new cars and having to test drive them and deal with salespeople. I'm getting that same feeling as I look at different blog sites and trying to maneuver them.
ReplyDeleteTake your time....
ReplyDeleteAgain this is object not in the future any self promotion. If others do wish to share.
ReplyDelete:) its a personal thing.
ReplyDeletePlease elucitate, Jade. In 4 months there will no multiply users!?
ReplyDelete<<== is moving GOODSTUFF'S CYBER WORLD
ReplyDeletefacebook will become my new web hub
http://www.facebook.com/goodstuff4u
I can appreciate this Caroline. :)
ReplyDeleteTo each their own.
This is entirely object not for self promotion. (again)
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any choice/s so far. But it makes me think, after few years of staying and battling it out to a site, comes the moving ... again, just what happened to 360 then. And I don't like the way it's happening. For the meantime I would lke to stop for awhile. Bloggers aren't treated fairly, my thoughts, pardon Jack ... Liken to place wherein you settled, happy ... then came a notice - "vacate the place' ... my gosh, it would make me cry you know ... not that am being bitter nor too attached, am just bing myself, the real one.
ReplyDeletetight hugs
Yes I know what you mean Maritess. I so know what you mean. Hugs there to you as one thing at a time and I would am not going to draw a conclusion yet who knows where this shall go. The meaning of this is just to get an idea and I never like to click and delete. A post but I was and am within this blog just trying to be objective mind you that is harder said than done.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI get your point Jack, I just can't help to being a bit skeptical to the whole talks that's circulating around. I pray it just talks
Jack, there are a number of places any of us could decide to go. Right now, all of us "Multipliers" have the chance to make some pretty big decisions. I have read some who say they are done with blogging completely. One friend is even thinking of closing down his Facebook account because he is too busy working to go online. Those of us who have made use of the features here could be a little spoiled when we go to compare.
ReplyDeleteI have shared my recommendation of Humanity Healing at my site, (http://kathycustren.multiply.com/journal/item/319) basically because it comes "close" to what we have here. While it is different, it does not feel as 'strange' as some of the other places. I have even contacted one of the editors there to give them a heads-up about Multiply in case large numbers of us decide to go there. As you said, it is good to explore some options. Writers do have a way of spreading themselves around a little bit. I am on Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, LinkedIn, Humanity Healing/Om Times, Scribd, and StumbleUpon (in addition to Multiply). There are others that I have signed up with but rarely ever use, and some popular sites that I have never had the chance to explore. In a way, it is good to be able to have a comfort level with some other places--although, as with most things in life, things always change. :) ~ Blessings!
you and many Kath right now from what I see many have merged into a few yet I am going to take my time.
ReplyDelete5 things of importance are :
ReplyDeletebeing able to customize my pages fonts, backgrounds, colors, etc.
being able to have photos and videos.
having several sections, like for recipes, calendar, notes, etc.
some privacy settings.
guest books and personal messages are nice, too.
A lot of my friends have already scattered :-(
I imagine I'll have to join several sites or lose a few contacts in the process....
Consider http://blogster.com. I've found it much as Multiply
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThank you Dee. This second day looking at this you have mentioned
within the intention. ....thanks.
Grammy thank you for being myself on my blog. You would have thought that you would post it on your own.
ReplyDeleteThis was poised and is poised. One day you have pissed me off as you know better.
I'm looking at bloggster too...nothing is decided yet.
ReplyDeleteIm out of town tomorrow and from there I shall see.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where to start yet I am not going
to jump into one site.
