Hey - thanks for the feedback. I think that you'd only need to take a look at something like LinkedIn to see that when a website taps into a different set of purpose and emotions, there's clearly a need for separation from other networks.

It's pretty clear (ask anyone <25) that Facebook doesn't work for families. And as loved ones move away and get on with the rest of their busy lives (catalogued with products like FB, LI, and now Path/Tumblr/etc), their family is left in the dust. They try to call and email, but it's not meaningful. Older relatives keep scraps of paper or address books with everyone's information - crossed-out phone numbers, outdated addresses to send christmas cards.

We noticed this huge gap in our personal lives after leaving for college a year or two ago. And we hope that FamilyLeaf will find the solution. Family is paramount.

Linkedin in my thoughts big before Facebook, and it is really more of a job board than a networking system.
