Jotspot Family Site
The latest in organizing families. The features are becoming the standard for these social offerings.
- Share family calendar
- Build your family tree
- Plot your family locations on a map
- It's free and you generate the content for your site
- You can plan your family reunion
The only thing I did notice with this offering is that the Jotpost Family Site, is not branded as a separate business with no logo and I can't log in from the main page to get to my account. I am assuming I have to find my special website address that comes with my account. ie. http://familyname.jot.com
It does appear to be really new and so I think more features will be coming out soon. It does appear to be an offering that is available as a product of Jotspot. It will be interesting to see if this family site becomes a brand of its own, such as [xyz] – Powered by Jotspot.
