Familybuilder.com - Family Trees for Social Networks

FamilyBuilder, the creator of Family Tree, provides software applications to social networks interested in offering genealogy-related applications to users. Currently, FamilyBuilder’s Family Tree application can be used on Facebook, Bebo, and MySpace with plans to expand further in the near future. Using family tree is simple, just download it from your favorite social network and then start searching and inviting family members and have them place themselves in the correct location on the tree. With over 11,000,000 profiles on Family Tree, it is becoming increasingly possible to get your entire family involved and also find new family that you never even knew you had.

“Familybuilder is a leading software application development company focused on building genealogy and family-oriented applications within online social networks. The company’s flagship product, Family Tree, is a leading social genealogy application on Facebook, Bebo, and MySpace. As of April 1, 2008 over 10,000,000 profiles have been built with Familybuilder.”

FamilyBuilder’s Family Tree application has already proven to be a hit with users across various social networks. Look for them to continue on-boarding users simply from the exponential viral growth.

Are they considering adding the additional functionality of being able to trace back multiple generations? That would make the program even more interesting as eventually, more and more people’s trees would cross.
