family website - Family sites 2.0

I’ve been looking for a family website where I can share photos, videos, and news with my family in other parts of the country.

I think I’ve found the best one:

Myfamily.com

From the myfamily website:

“Myfamily.com 2.0 is your NEW way to connect with family and friends to share photos, news, stories and more. It is the next generation of the original myfamily.com site launched in 1998. myfamily.com has always been the best place on the web to connect and share with the most important people in your life, in a private, secure environment. We are committed to continuing this focus while introducing improvements and new features that our members have been asking for.
“

So far, there is a big feature of the myfamily site that I think is awesome: video. You can upload as many videos as you want and share them with the family. That’s right, all those little video clips you take with your digital camera are perfect for this site. The only thing is that the file size has to be under 25mb. But if you have some video editing software, you can easily export the video to take down the file size.

Uploading photos and putting them in albums is a really easy, too. They also have a voice feature where you can call a number and then leave a voice message, which is then recored to the site for others to play.

Myfamily.com is in Beta, which means they’re still working out the bugs. But so far, I’ve been so impressed. I’ve been using sites like Blogger as a way to stay connected to family, but myfamily.com does everything I was looking for.

Every now and then I’ll get a client that wants some family photographs. Utah family photography is a big deal, and now with this site, you have a place to put all those family photos.

There’s a lot more features that I’m excited about, but you’ll have to take a look to see if it’s something that your family can use.

It’s free, too. But they do place some ads up. My family and I have been using the site, and we’re all singing its praises :-)
