Blogs + Multiply vs VOX

November 25, 2007 6:33 PM

Tags: , , , ,

I unsubscribed some journals from my Google Reader. Reasons:
1. I’m too busy right now to read them.
2. I found other blogs that are more interesting than theirs.
3. Comments are just one-way.
4. I’m tired of reading entries that aren’t really for or about themselves, but because they blog for others.
5. They didn’t update for months.

Further explanations:
For #3, I comment at some of their posts, but they NEVER do with mine. I’m not expecting people I leave comments with to do the same with mine. I only find that leaving comments and visiting blogs are a way to meet people or make new online buddies. Heh~ I guess my blog’s way below their standards? I know my posts are very uninteresting, but I try. I should firmly believe that not everyone’s like me… Someone who’s very open-minded and would read about various things. :| For #4, I think some of you already know what I mean. Those are usually the sort of people have the tendency to stop blogging because they feel no one’s reading their blog/s. *lol*

Alright, enough about the blog dramas “and assumptions.” XD Yesterday, my parents and I sorted through some of our cabinets to look for stuff we don’t need anymore. We almost cleared out the whole drawer under my closet. *lol* We’ll have a garage sale this Friday in Merville. I was told it’s the holiday, so it would be great if you guys would check out our stuff. I’m planning on putting most of them online. I’m still debating whether to put them in Multiply or VOX. I also have another ads site, but it’s mostly for my anime, dramas, and other media stuff. I am confused. I don’t have much time to think since the garage sale is this coming Friday already. Let’s see if I can choose among the two if I make a list of their advantages and disadvantages.

Multiply’s advantages:
1. More Philippine-based sellers and buyers tread there.
2. Pictures can be uploaded through email
3. Then pictures can be sorted by album and tags.
4. There are other features than just blogs and photo albums.
5. There are active groups for Philippine-based sellers and buyers.

Multiply’s disadvantages:
1. The pre-made templates aren’t my type.
2. Pictures do not show 95-99% of the time when I embed some in my blog.
3. Non-Multiply users can’t comment.
4. Instead of automatically placing the “description” of the picture, it becomes the “title.” I would have to fix that one by one if that happens. (People who are OC with their pictures might know what I mean. *lol* )

VOX’s advantages:
1. They have more templates choices.
2. Places the description of the picture in the “description” body. I won’t have to edit them one by one anymore. ^_^
3. No problems hotlinking images from there.
4. Albums/Collections and tags are used to group pictures.

VOX’s disadvantages:
1. Filipinos hardly know of VOX.
2. You have to make a blog about new collections/albums for visitors to know of your updates.
3. Non-VOX users can’t comment.
4. Descriptions for albums/collections can’t be added unless you blog about it.

Those are all I can think of now. Multiply wins with having 5 advantages than VOX’s 4. I want to choose Multiply, but I’m keen on pre-made templates. The CSS of Multiply is slightly confusing and hard. I think it’s harder than LJ’s. XP But this is business and not something for personal use like my gallery. I have to keep in mind that there are more Filipino-users in Multiply. Anyway, since I decided to keep for you as a media distro site, Multiply it is then. I will just make a hyukta.net url for it. ^_^

Oh, for you to have an idea what I mean by Multiply disadvantage #2, here are pictures of a dress I’m itching to buy. These are hotlinked from Multiply. If it doesn’t show, then you already know what I mean. *lol* If it does, then Multiply’s buggy on hotlinking then. ^^;





I love the dress. I think I like the beige version better. Tempting, but I can’t buy dresses for now unfortunately. I’m broke among other reasons. ^_^V

if you really are for selling those stuff from your fam’s garage sale, it would definitely be better to thrive in multiply since a whole lot of Pinoy use it for selling stuff online and for people like me to buy from them hehehe.

I like the dress ah! Kaso I don’t wear dresses too often, it becomes a controversy with my friends and the family. XP ^_^V

I say Multiply too. I do see a lot of Flips there who sell stuff.

I only track a few blogs actually. Most of them are news/hobby sites. For types of blogs like ours which is mainly about how our day went and anything goes, it’s really important to interact with our readers.

Btw, the pics show up on my side. I like the Beige dress too…Now if only I can fit in one…. ^^;

@joiz: Why would it be a controversy with your friends and family? ^_^V

@Mics: I also worry about whether I will fit in those dresses they sell in Multiply or not. Haha~ My hips and butt are BIG. ^.^

hehehe isa pa yan. will I even fit in dresses like those…

it’s a controversy because they’ve always seen me as the slacks-or-shorts type and if they see me wearing a skirt, they always think something’s up. like I’m going on a date or it’s the end of the world. ewan. ang weird nila. X_X
