A new look at FamilyCrossings.com<\/a><\/p>\n

For Immediate Release<\/p>\n

(Sanibel, FL, 17 August 09)\u00a0 It is summertime and families everywhere are breaking out the paint and giving their homes a fresh look.\u00a0 Bruce Collen has been doing the same thing to FamilyCrossings.com\u2019s
\nhttp:\/\/www.familycrossings.com website.\u00a0 \u201cEach year, we try to update the look and feel of our website to keep it fresh and current.\u00a0 At the same time we incorporate many of the suggestions from our users within the product itself\u201d says Bruce.\u00a0 \u201cThis year is no different.\u00a0 People just finding us will find a fresh look to the website that will make it easier for them to decide to come on in and give us a try.\u00a0 Current users will find that we have improved on our features and expanded their storage memory.\u201d\u00a0 Bruce gives a smile.\u00a0 \u201cOkay maybe it was a little more than a paint job.\u00a0 I guess we have sort of knocked out a few walls and added a sun room onto their virtual porch!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruce is quick to point out that families now have the luxury of either 250mb or 500mb of storage depending on whether they join the free or premium version.\u00a0 \u201cWe have seen how quickly families have taken to the product and begun to upload their photo memories.\u00a0 We quickly realized they needed more virtual walls to display on!\u201d\u00a0 Families paying $9.95 a month now have twice as much storage than the previous version.\u00a0 That means that suddenly it just got very easy to send grandma a whole collage of images of the kids at their school recital.\u00a0 \u201cEveryday we are asking ourselves what we can do to bring families closer.\u00a0 We are always working to figure out what families need their virtual home to provide them\u201d says Bruce.\u00a0 \u201cWe know they are busier than ever.\u00a0 We know they need to manage the schedules of child activities and doctor appointments.\u00a0 They want to share family photos, chat with distant relatives, catch up on family news and plan family meals, all without touching a phone or running around\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cThey started using Facebook, Myspace, Flicker and other products but for many families, safety quickly became an issue.\u00a0 Watching just one episode of\u00a0 To Catch A Predator and you are suddenly very wary of letting your kids use a public product like those\u201d says Bruce.\u00a0 \u201cNow, they are discovering that we provide them with tools like a calendar, email reminders, chat, a family news system, shopping and wish lists, a photo gallery and a family address book, all in a safe, secure environment that they control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, a close review of FamilyCrossings.com reveals your family will be able to share news and photos, chat live, exchange gift lists, share daily calendars and more.\u00a0 Your family will easily re-connect and strengthen family bonds. You’ll create a family website on the Internet in minutes. No matter what computer experience you have, you’ll easily help your family build and secure it’s history and memories. From kids to grandparents, everyone will enjoy what you’ll find inside. You’ll chat from anywhere, day or night. Share important dates and events on the Family Calendar.
