Secret Sauce:A photographic family tree with music and video!
This site has really grabbed on to the idea of how much families love pictures
of each other and how they love to make connections between all the family
members. The site has easy mass uploading, upload by email or from your camera
phone. Video clip support, no ads, backup DVDs and storage of the original high
resolution photos. Parents and relatives can record sound bites to go with their
pictures. This site is heavily database driven application, built primarily in
Cold Fusion with a SQL server back-end. Albums can be connected to each other,
making it a great way to connect photos and profiles from living relatives for a
family history book or upcoming reunion. When you upload new photos to your own
album, they also get automatically uploaded to any related families’ albums. You
can also create a single family site, and provide your relatives with separate
family passwords for upload rights, edit rights, etc. Rafe Needleman wrote, “Amiglia’s add-ons to this structure are well targeted
to navigating this network: there’s a Java-based game for children, where they
get to identify family members; and there are mapping tools to show destinations
on a family vacation.”
