We are very pleased that Famundo is featured in the Yuzhi Yang’s Miss Gizmo blog on Ladies’ Home Journal online.
Whether you have one kid or five, each child probably has a calendar full of activities: school events, scout outings, church meet-ups, volunteering, friends’ birthdays… Whew, it’s a wonder you can stay on top of it all. If you find the average online calendar to be too geared toward the office, Famundo.com’s family-oriented calendar might be a better fit.

Here is another true story about how Famundo has helped a family manage their busy lives.
My family has used a calendar program, cell phones calendars, and paper calendars for years to try to keep up with each other’s activities. Up until we found Famundo, the paper calendar with a different column for each family member worked best for us. The drawback was that when we were away from the house, we were unable to check availability of different family members as the calendar was at home in the kitchen. I have a small family, there are only 3 of us, but we are all always running in different directions since our daughter is now a teenager. Whether it be band, cheerleading, late work schedules, parent conference night, basketball, or girls night out, when something came up when we were away, we were unsure of each other’s availability because we couldn’t check that calendar that was at home in the kitchen.
Famundo allows us to keep all of our calendars in one place – easily accessible from any computer – or even from a cell phone. We can see if there is somewhere we’re supposed to be, check ahead for upcoming events, and add new items to the calendar from afar.
We can also give our password to extended family members so they can see our calendar to know if we’re busy before making any plans that involve us. Everyone knows how busy we are and how little time we spend at home. This is a valuable tool for everyone!
It has definitely made our life easier and we will continue to use it in the future.
Thank you, Famundo!

Many of you have asked what the purpose of the Tag field is. This field is found in various data entry screens in Famundo such as events, lists, files, and photos. In fact, tagging is used in almost every area of Famundo. Think of a Tag as a “keyword” that will allow you to search for things with “like” tags in the future.
Famundo now supports searching of tagged events, so you can quickly view all events that contain a specific tag.
Let’s say, for example, that your child is required to complete a certain number of community service hours for their school. If, when you schedule the community service events, you add a tag “community” in the tag field, it will be very easy to locate all community service events in the future and add up the hours served.
Tags will “auto-complete”, so once you add a new tag it will appear the next time you start typing in the word in the tag field.
Tag searching will locate all events with a specific tag from 3 months in the past to 3 months in the future.
The tags are presented in what is called a “tag cloud,” which can be viewed by clicking on Tags on the top Calendar menu. The tags with the most items are represented with larger text in the beginning of the list and those with fewer items are represented with smaller text at the end of the list.
By the way, your family member’s names are also treated as tags, so if you want to find all events for a member of your family, just click on their name in the tag cloud.
In future releases of Famundo, you will be able to search on all items, events, files, lists, photos and more, with a common tag.
