  • Family Tree Sites – Review

    Hi!

    Yesterday, I reviewed the following Family Tree Creation / Geneology Sites:

    Geni

    MyHeritage

    Kindo

    ItsOurTree

     

    I liked Geni the most. Second best was MyHeritage. Geni has a very beautiful and wonderful user interface.

    I found all the following tasks were very easy and quick:
    1. Registration & Login – Just Name & Email ID
    2. Adding Family Members Is Easily & Enjoyable
    3. Invite Members As You Add Them
    4. Add Their Date Of BIrth, Added To Events
    5. Tree Is Created With Different Views
    6. View Map According To Date Of Birth Of Members
    7. Intelligent Photos – Event Linker
    8. Add Videos
    9. Calendar

    No wonder that Geni was awarded with the following awards:
    1. Time – 50 Best Websites 2008
    2. PC Magazine – The Best Free Software 2008

    According to Geni & TechCrunch:

    Geni is the fast, free, fun way to create your family tree with your relatives and stay in touch. Free unlimited photo and video sharing. It is a social-networking website for families to explore their geneology. Geni aspires to create a family tree of the whole world.

    MyHeritage is also a good site. It has nice features and various reports. You can also import GEDCOM data here. The most unique feature is MyHeritage Find The Celebrity In You Feature. Just upload your photograph and find the celebrity with which your face matches. You can also create a celebrity collage, morph celebrity images, look-alike meter. Try those tools. They are fun!

    My vote is for Geni. Try MyHeritage for Celebrity Fun!

  • Gandhi Biography Online

    A wonderful new website on Gandhi was recently launched :  http://www.gandhibiography.net/

    The site is for promoting the sale of Gandhi’s Biography but has a good collection of Gandhi’s quotes, wallpapers apart from a good design. Check it!

  • Gujarati Literary Journalism in 1920s

    Gujarati Visamisadi – Twentieth Century is a wonderful collection of literary pieces of the period 1916-1920s. The magazine was published and edited by legendary journalist HajiMohammed Allahrakha Shivaji.

    The entire magazine has been now reproduced in the digital format and is online now – http://www.gujarativisamisadi.com/

    The website has excellent user interface, wonderful production quality and imaginative application of cool technology. All these are over and above the pearls of literary pieces of our forefathers’ age.

  • Indian Organizations in US

    Keshav Kaka emailed me the link to an website which contains information on the various Indian organizations like temples, restaurants etc. in USA. All information is classified state-wise, organization nature-wise.

    The look and the feel of the site would need improvement to make it more contemporary.

  • Online KBC!

    Its KBC Time folks!

    The show that changed the fortunes of Star Plus in India and resurrected the career of Amitabh Bachchan is back with new energy, new look, new strategy and of course, new host – Shah Rukh Khan. The media has already done great service to KBC by highlighting SRK and Amitabh cold war.
    KBC3 is live at www.kbclive.com. The site sports an energetic look in its new colors. One can play KBC Online, download wallpapers-ringtone, get show updates etc. It also has used Web 2.0 elements for social networking. The main highlight is definitely going to be the SRK Blog and content build around him.

    Star Plus has shown that it is going full guns for KBC3. The promo videos and TVCs have been amazing so far and got thums-up from all. It is a refreshing change and quite creative. It is also one of the most debated ads on Agencyfaqs.com. Star is also heavily inserting KBC content in its soap for cross promotion. Will the show live upto the hype? We will know on Jan 22 9pm.
