Doncha...

Don’t you just hate direct-selling/multi-level-marketing people who hold on to their Rich Dad Poor Dad book like it’s a bible and think they’ve stumbled onto Life’s Greatest Secret which they just HAVE to share with you? Don’t you just hate their let-me-help-you(help-me)get-richer spiel? That look of utter concern they have? And how condescending (grossly misguided so) they are that you are not part of this Secret to a Greater Life and that tsk tsk tsk…you must be saved and not miss out on this opportunity.

 Overrated: Facebook; Underrated: Multiply

Everyone seems to be on Facebook at this point. But to what end? Countless free applications of dubious value, plus scores of plug-ins and games that draw you deeper into the Facebook rabbit hole until you're spending hours a day befriending complete strangers with whom you have nothing in common be­­yond a shared love of Raisin Bran.

Ready for a little quality control? Try Multiply.com, a social networking site that's less a landing page (à la Facebook) than a series of feeds. Share various as­­pects of yourself with people in different spheres of your life: Have a drinking-buddy list for happy-hour up­­dates and a family group for Aunt Helen sightings.
