When we set out to design Famundo Social, we surveyed our users for ideas on what would make Famundo work better for them. Many of their suggestions are incorporated in this new release.
One of the things we heard over and over again was the need for families to be able to interact with their extended family and friends in a manner, similar to Facebook or Myspace, but in a family-friendly, safe and secure environment. With parents having control over who their children can or cannot be friends with. With grandkids and grandparents having the ability to communicate with each other without having to set up an e-mail account.
The result is the “Social” part of Famundo Social. Here is a short flash movie that gives a overview on how this works.
Families are busy today. We tend to get caught up in our own lives and let our relationships with friends and our extended families fall through the cracks. We hope Famundo Social can help bring you together again.

It is fantastic! I now say if it’s not in Famundo, then it’s not happening

Famundo.com, a management and calendaring service, lets family members merge their personal schedules with the rest of the family’s. You’ll know who is free to take Marcus to trumpet lessons on Thursday night, and when everyone can sit down for a family dinner.
PERKS- Message boards so your notes aren’t thrown out, list managers to keep track of when the milk is out or who’s on garbage duty, and a family vault to store important documents and photos.
It is on the newsstands now! Check it out, page 28!
