Back in July I had shared with you about
Multiply.com. It's a social networking site, where you can do so many of the things in one place, that you currently do on four of five.
One of the perks to Multiply.com is that you can order physical picture prints and gifts of the photos you upload.
Multiply.com has a unique tool called the Multiply Auto Uploader, which makes uploading photos quick and easy. They are the only major social network that has such a feature. They also have integrated editing tools so its easy to fix your pictures right from your media locker.
Disney's iParenting Media Awards recognized Multiply's Photo books with the honor of being an Outstanding Product of 2009.
When I was asked to create and review a photo book of my very own using Multiply's services, I was thrilled.
I already had a Multiply.com account, so my next step was to install the Multiply Auto Uploader. That went quick and easy.
I decided to create a photo book for my parents with pictures that we took when thy came for a visit in August.
I chose which pictures from my media card I wanted, told the Auto Uploader to upload them and "Wow", that seriously was the quickest upload of multiple pictures I have ever seen.
Then it was just a matter of choosing from the layouts and backgrounds what I wanted to create. I decided on a Linen Cover and a Vintage Look, and then started arranging my photos.
When I received the book I was pleased with the packaging. It was well protected during shipping.
The quality was better than I expected and I know my Mom will be very pleased with it as a memory of the time they spent with us.
After making this Photo Book, I have to say my experience with it was excellent, and the tools Mulitply.com has are very user friendly. My Mom could have even done it on her own, and she is anything but user friendly (lol!).
While you are building your book, Mulitply.com auto saves it continually, so you don't have to worry about losing your work in progress, which is a huge plus to me.
Photo Books can be created for so many different occasions and Multiply.com is a great place to get them from. A 20 page book starts at $14.99 so they are reasonably priced as well. For all of the above reasons, it's no wonder they received Disney's iParenting Media Award!

I like that everything is on ONE site. I'm one of those that has 50 million accounts. I do wish that I could see how much printing pics and books cost before I signed up though. :)

Thanks!
(I'm surprised more people aren't entering. Photobooks make great keepsakes and gifts!)
I like that everything is at one site. Right now, I share photos with family from one site, print them from another. I think the photo books are very reasonably priced and it looks pretty easy to use the site to make them.

I like that yoiu can share your pics thru your own personalized addy.
I like that you can specify what kind of a contact each person is, describe your connection and then be in control of which contacts can view your uploaded items, like pictures & video. I wouldn't want some of my work contacts to view my family videos! Thanks for the intro to Multiply.com. goodwitchglinda at gmail dot com
