Geni.com Updates

I know its been a bit of time, but maybe just maybe everyone does not know of the recent updates to Geni.com. Today I seem to have a few minutes with some actual internet to try and catch up to things.

1. Geni/Facebook Connect: You can connect your Facebook account with Geni account. From there you can invite your relatives to join Geni in Facebook. I believe its something on the line of WeRelate, but I could be wrong, either way it opens up Geni to more people.

2. Family Group: The default Family Group is now 4th cousins and closer instead of 3rd.

3. Gifts: Free gifts are back! A few gifts in each category (two birthday, two anniversary) are now free for all users.

Some good additions to Geni I believe, we will see in time how everything pans out. I think some users are still having an issue with the 4th cousins, but that could be just a quick settings issue.

    Actually, the family group is now 4th cousins of instead of 5th. They tried to reduce to 3th but we protested against this. Tamura Jones has good write-up why we are still angry.
