Why did you bomb my inbox? (or what happens when you import blogs from another site)

Several of you have complained in a very nice way that I bombarded you inbox with updates...some of you were resentful, others wonder why the sudden flurry of blogs.

I have been closing various other sites i used to blog on, and moving them all to Multiply, or deleting them. I have stuff I wrote five years ago now all posted here on Multiply...Still, I should have been thinking about how that shows up in your inbox, which didn't happen..

The import function in Multiply allows you to import from places like Blogger, etc, by using your login (you enter it) to provide access, and then grabs the content and dumps it enmass to the Multiply site. If I do import more, I will try to see if it can be done selectively, so as not to bomb you with updates.

You can also just set a inbox filter to limit what you see...and when.

Thanks to those of you that made me aware this is an issue,...

  1. This has been a problem with importing into Multiply and needs to be addressed by Multiply to see what is the best way to handle imports of whole blogs. Someone importing hundreds or thousands of blog entries should not be listed in the inbox en masse.

  2. Hi Kim. Seems like there are some technical problems or more glitches to look into both of u are well versed in that tech know stuff.

    As to the rest ? I'ld take note who keeps lurking. If need be go contacts only for awhile. Hide your contact list. Online Bull SH*IT is drama. And many have nothing better to do than promote & thrive in it Canice.
    "Like water off a Duck's back" consider alot of issues at hand. Look at your true friends. And then if u wish MULTIPLY !! Name of the game. Meet & greet & share information. Too much of this side of Yahoo 360 rejects is gossipy and not social ~ unless u belong. High School is over. Don't sweat it GF.

  3. I am not complaining. I looked at a couple of them so far. There weren't really that many, so it is more funny than anything else.
