I was pleased with how easy and simple it was. Ironic that it isn't working now when the buzz is high after their $100M valuation hit the wires.

Kinda a waste of time. The tree does not expand out beyond a couple of children and siblings without lots of clicking and crap. They have nice AJAX code going there, and you can see where they are trying to go, but it isnt 30% finished. I think this is currently designed for unmarried orphans.

That's too bad, since the major obvious differentiator appears to be UI. I tried a few myself, and ran into a bug (Safari, Mac) pretty quickly myself. Reload seemed to help. It looks like Omnigraffle for family trees. I like the concept of a third leg on the major social network stool (friends = myspace, work = linkedin, family = ...) Oddly the most impersonal of the three sites from a UI standpoint is Geni. Who knows, maybe they can get a lot of affiliate marketing revenue out of family reunion bookings at Yosemite and Yellowstone. Cheers. Hmm.
