Geni
Location: United States, Los Angeles
Geni.com is a genealogy-related social networking website launched in beta mode on January 16, 2007 by Web 2.0 company Geni, Inc. Over ten million profiles were created on Geni as of November 12, 2007.
At the website users enter names and email addresses of their parents, siblings, and other relatives, as well as a user profile with various biographical information. From there users may graphically manipulate sections of their connections network to create a complete personal family tree.
The service uses the contact information to invite additional members to join, and builds a comprehensive social network database from the information collectively entered by members. For now users may only see information belonging to themselves and to people in their immediate network who have given them permission.
