Well this is news to me. Here is more

 

Welcome to Multiply's import tool for MSN Groups. Please read the instructions below before proceeding with the migration.

• Click Sign In below to sign into MSN. If you are already signed in, you'll be taken directly to step #2.
  
  
• Select the MSN group to be migrated. You must be a manager (not an assistant) to migrate a group.
  
  
• Enter an ID for the new group on Multiply. Note that this is different than the group name, which will be brought over directly from MSN. Your group's address on Multiply will be http://groupid.multiply.com
  
  
• Register for Multiply and select a personal user ID.
This is similar to your nickname on MSN, although it will be used across all of your groups. If you already have a Multiply user ID, click on the Sign In link on this step.

  Why is MSN Groups Closing?

  Because we are dedicated to providing our customers with the most current and user friendly technology available today we made the difficult decision to close the MSN Groups service.nbsp; This decision is part of an overall investment to update and re-align our online services with Windows Live. In the long term we believe that closing the service is the best way to continue to offer innovative, best of breed services that help you stay in touch with the people you care about. We plan to launch a new Groups service this fall, but unlike MSN Groups, Windows Live Groups will focus on offering a place for small groups to collaborate. A service for small, medium and large groups is available now with our online partner:Multiply.
