Geni.com is one of the most elegantly designed sites on the web. As a tool for building your family tree, it is pure in its purpose, yet manages to be exhaustively comprehensive. In terms of being viral, it’s
nothing short of genius. I started my family tree with my immediate family, and magically, within the last week, its grown to more than 200, with 10 relatives contributing, 4 of whom I have never met. If the growth of Geni is as rapid as my family tree, then Geni’s motto, “Everyone’s Related” may prove to be ironically true.
