You're so right. Since my post on this topic, I've received several polite responses from societies that confirm exactly what you said... they don't meet during the summer and won't be able to consider my proposal until September. Of course, several have also already indicated their interest in partnering with us, but I expect they're the exception, just as you indicated.
Thanks for your comment... it really was very helpful.
I based my assertion that FamilySearch's Family Tree was launched later than Geni's on FSL's post entitled "First Whack at the Family Tree" from 17 December 2007. But reviewing the post from 12 October 2006, I do indeed see a screenshot that looks a lot like what they're now calling Family Tree. Good catch, Dan!
You're sure right about all the software developers working to interface with FamilySearch through its APIs. Though I alluded to that in the section of my post discussing NFS' printing options, it deserved more emphasis. Thanks also for reminding me about the Flash-enabled Family Tree at FamilySearch Labs. Look for a post devoted to it coming soon on this blog.
I don't have a problem with it... thanks for letting us know.
I took a brief look at your site and you've obviously put together something people really feel a need for... I've got some great quotes bookmarked somewhere about the promise and monetization potential of "niche social networks" or "social networks built around niche verticals". Looks like your success backs up those ideas. I'll try to find the quotes and send them to you. In the meantime, best of luck with your site!
