This is bad news. Multiply announced that they will stop and close the all services.

Multiply started in 2004, before Facebook existed.  Multiply has  relocated its global headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida, to Jakarta, Indonesia early in 2012 and recently announced intentions to switch to e-commerce, dropping the social networking aspect entirely. Now, Multiply has just announced that it will be shutting down on 6 May 2013 and cease all operations by 31 May 2013.

According to Multiply Statement, Multiply will maintain normal site operations through May 6th, at which point the marketplace will close, and will wind down operations throughout the month of May to provide its merchants time to find and migrate to alternative ecommerce platforms, settle all payments on items bought and delivered, and generally minimize disruption to our merchants’ businesses.
