#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

For this discovery exercise, I looked at My Heritage, a family tree building site. It is very easy to navigate and use. I was able to establish a basic family tree in a matter of minutes. Another feature is the ancestors search, which searches across many different genealogy databases at once. This feature took quite a while, so I will come back to it at another time.

Although I can't see this site being of any great benefit in a special library, public libraries could, of course, promote it to users. Just a bit of fun!
