Geni.com
While reading through a book earlier today a site called geni.com was held up as a good example of Gradual Engagement. I was quite intrigued by this as genealogy is something I find quite interesting and I’ve always wondered about the history of what is now my family. That said I’ve never aggressively perused this. I’ve not been digging through census records or anything like that, but it has still interested me.
At any rate I signed up, rather pleasantly I might add, and added some of my family members though their flash based interface. It is very pleasant to work with and I later found myself on the phone to my mother working my way back up the tree.
Have to say, this is definitely a web application that its worth getting the whole family involved in.
