Part of what I'd like to do here is communicate some interesting ways that technology can help to keep us more in touch with each other. Some of you have already visited the family tree I set up on Geni, a genealogy site--a big thanks to Tina for serving as resident historian and filling out most of the branches.
Besides offering some pretty snazzy visuals and tools for extending the tree, Geni is also a social networking site. Basically, this means that you can fill out and share personal information, photos, interests, contact info and the like with people in your network. Though with some social networking sites like MySpace, you end up with a zillion friends you don't even know, Geni is different in the sense that your network is limited to your family members. Registration is free, and you can always opt out of receiving any email. If you're interested, drop me a line and I'll be happy to add you to the network. Once added, you can begin to fill out your sections of the family tree, and the network grows.
