Great site. It has been very useful in plotting my family's tree. I've heard rumbling about them being able to implement some DNA records into the tree. That would be amazing.

Whats the user base ? There are so many social networking utilities coming up that we get confused.

BEWARE of the privacy violations of this company. It's INSANE that they aren't showing any concern about their repeated releases of information. Check their forums for hundreds of their admittedly-most-active users complaining about the violations.
