I don’t know about you but I have found over recent weeks that MySpace is not a place that I like exploring that much! It seems that there is more and more smut and nonsense being seen there. I know quite a few of our friends have been telling us recently that they don’t bother with it much nowadays. However they would still like to have a place like that to go and to share their thoughts and experiences and to make new friends around the world!

So that has set us thinking! We have the capabilities to set up a Genealogy MySpace alternative but one of the challenges is establishing whether there would be sufficient interest to make it truly worthwhile. We have had a look at some of the alternatives and to be honest they don’t seem to be that good - they seem to lack some of the major features that people want.

Therefore I would like to ask you to let me know whether you would be interested in such a site? You can either post a comment here at the blog or drop me a line at paul@my-blogs.co.uk
