Calling All Digital Moms! {Photobook Giveaway!}

I’ve been taking pictures and video like a crazy woman since Little AG was born – I’m actually borderline obsessive with the “document every moment” stuff. When she was a couple of months old, I attempted to figure out the best way to organize and share all of these little tidbits of multimedia with our families – some of whom lived hundreds of miles away. I eventually settled on creating a website for her, which was fine until I used up all of my allotted space. Sheesh. You’d be surprised at how much room a few pictures and a couple of videos takes up! So I went back to the old way of doing things – photos to Walgreens, videos on YouTube, etc. Sure, I was still able to share it all, but not in the neat little package I had imagined.

Recently I discovered Multiply which is a social networking site that also includes a beginning to end media solution, where moms (and dads!) can quickly and easily store, share and discuss their media, as well as order a full spectrum of print products, with just a few clicks. It serves as an online backup and permanent storage of your original resolution files, which is extremely helpful if your computer ever crashes. For me, that is a scary and all-too-real possibility that became reality for me last summer – my computer crashed and there was a possibility that all of the photos from the first year and a half of Little AG’s life were lost. Thankfully I was able to recover them, but I learned my lesson in the meantime!

The social networking aspect of the Multiply allows family members to join and connect with you as well, so they can see your most recent videos, photos, etc. Even better, if I decide to create and order something on Multiply, my family members can order it too, or they can actually use the photos and other media that I upload to make their own products. So, if I create a photo book from Little AG’s birthday party, my family members can order a duplicate copy of the one I created, or they can use Multiply’s editor to include the photos they would most like to have in their book. You can also add notes to your profile, keep up with your calendar, and import your blog and photo feeds from various services, so you truly can have everything in one place.
