I do not like Multiply (among others)

This is why i do not like Multiply. Look at the text on the grey box. "To see exclusive content that Shau has posted for her friends and family - or to start your own web page like this one - join Multiply (free registration)."

Rather than forcing people to sign up (and getting and making use of their data), they should just have open access to everyone for all content.

The other sites that i really do not like is sites like Bebo, Ringo, Plaxo. They are all in the same vein, in that you provide your private contact info to them, so that you can easily share such data with your friends that you invited into the sites as well. Now why would i want to give my data to THEM to provide to my friends and families in a easier to manage manner?

If my friends or families are not bothered to even keep track of my contact information on their own, then i do not bother to care for them too.
