TheFamilyForest.com received a much needed face-lift today, along with some important fixes for cross browser compatibility. The new centered layout and other stylistic changes (like the new menu icons) should improve the overall usability. Additionally, we've added the capability to increase the width of certain pages. In the future this will allow for the expansion and addition of new features.

Coming Soon: Family Friends

The Family Friend relationship is starting to shape up. Unlike other social networks, the goal of TheFamilyForest is to connect only with your most intimate family and friends. Instead of a popularity test, we intent to be a website that stresses usefulness and convenience. Therefore, we are designing the Family Friend relationship to have the functionality of some one who's "one of the family".

This would allow us to make sure that users aren't inviting everyone they know to be a friend. The consequence will be a far less useful experience. In the future this will allow us to have friends deviate further from families and build a system of cliches. Of course that is more of a thought and nothing like that is in the works.
