This has to be one of the busiest times of the year (Of course, each season seems to bring on its own unique brand busyness). The kids will soon be out of school for a few weeks. The evenings are busy with parties and other social affairs. Time needs to be alotted for family and friends.
In the few spare moments during the last few weeks of this year, I intend to get our family organized, which, of course, means getting our family fully on board with Famundo. Several of the local groups that we belong to will also be rolling out their own Famundo sites, so we can subscribe to their calendars.
But there are many other things that we can use some extra help with. A new service has come to my attention, GetVendors.com
GetVendors.com, a web 2.0 start up has taken upon the challenge of relieving stress of household chores from busy lives of working moms (and dads, I might add).
GetVendors.com has three primary functional modules
1. Pro-match (an online service professional match making service)
2. Household Organizer (AJAX based interactive tools to manage household chores.
3. Community Groups that help users share everyday ideas with their trusted friends.
is the only service that gets you proposals from professionals who best match your needs & not the only ones who pay for leads
You can create your own groups, but one that looks very useful is one for Working Moms.
So if you need to find someone trim your trees or fix your computer, GetVendors.com is a good place to start.

We are very pleased to announce that Famundo for Families, our new web-based family management solution, is now in beta.
We would like to invite you to preview Famundo for Families, before it is officially released in January. We’d love to get your feedback: What works for you? What doesn’t work? How we can improve it?
Please signup and take it for a test drive by clicking here.
After the initial trial period, Famundo will be priced at $9.95/month or $99./year.
Famundo for Families works in tandem with our FREE version of Famundo made specifically for community organizations like schools and churches, which was released in July of this year. If the community organizations you belong to use Famundo, you can select the events you are interested in and have them automatically appear on your personal Famundo calendar. If the event time changes, it will change on your calendar also.
Please keep in mind we are still in beta. There are many more features that we’ll be rolling out over the next few months, including Outlook and Palm sync and more. Of course, once your community organizations start using Famundo, you will be able to subscribe to their calendars also.
Community organizations can signup for Famundo for Organizations by clicking here.
Please take a minute to see what Famundo is all about. We hope you’ll be as excited as we are about the possibilities of bringing families and their communities together.
