Jon Lebkowsky,
who according to Multiply is an “Online Buddy” (and is in fact a very longtime web acquaintance of mine, at least 8 years now) has decided to leave Multiply, and presumably the other services as well.

Within the category there are almost innumerable options – but at base, chronological organization is essential, and I would say links and commentary on those links as well.
