multiply



so i signed up for a multiply account. why? 'coz i need a new space to store my digital photos. why? well apparently, to remain a member of myphotoalbum, u have to make a purchase every 365 days. naturally, im not gonna do that. so i figured, ill just make a new account and upload pics there. i go the site and register, but then i get this alert saying We do not accept signups from your location. "ok, that's weird." i try again, and get the same alert. finally, i click on Terms and Conditions and scan the page. and here is what i found out:

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. MyPhotoAlbum reserves the right to restrict access to our servers from areas of the globe with a high level of abusive activity. These areas change periodically based on the origins of this inappropriate activity. The current restriction applies to Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Moldavia, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Yugoslavia.

what the?! boooo!!!

i had no choice but to look for an alternative. again, booo!!!! i was thinking of just using my flickr account. but i can only make 3 sets :( and i like to organize my photos into albums. finally, i decide to go for multiply instead. unlimited storage, and all.

so add me up ;) (granted i know hu u are, of course. and we're actually friends) oh speaking of which, i just find it in bad taste that u have to define the relationship when adding a contact. it's like saying "ur just my classmate, ur not my friend," or "ur a co-worker, that's all." they even have uber specific ones like Ex-Husband, Friend of Family, and Distant Relative. i mean, come on! a bit ridiculous, wouldn't u agree?

Nag sign up din ako for myphotoalbum before I got to read the terms and conditions. and when I revisited the site and napapunta ako sa terms and conditions, gulat din akong kailangan bumili ng stuff para makaremain "in good standing"...alam ko nang no chance for me in that. Kaya nagsisimula na rin akong maghanap ng ibang mapaglagyan ng pics hehe like bubblewrap.com (if i remember correctly). para siyang flickr na di rin exactly hehe
sayang talaga ang flickr. 3 photo sets lang, kuripot :p
