FamilyLink is History

Hey, two of my favorite genealogy commentators on the same page! Hi Tamura and Randy. I can't resist commenting on this blog post. I know that a lot of dedicated genealogists probably feel we have abandoned them because we haven't supported GEDCOM and our online tree experience on We're Related has not been the best. But there is a method to our madness. We have first worked on the product that would attract the most family users. This puts us in a really strong financial position. I assure you both that we are 100% committed to building the best online social family tree with full GEDCOM support. We just haven't announced when. We have been carefully recruiting top designers, engineers, and testers for some time now. You would be amazed at the "pedigree" of our team. I am confident both of you will look back in a few months on our early products and say that they were good enough to get us to the point that we could hire the best team in the world to design the best social products for families (the mass market) and for genealogists (the dedicated hobbyists and professionals). They are very distinct markets with very different needs, and we are excited about addressing both of them in turn.
