As promised here’s the latest update on the status to changes of our Terms of Agreement. First we’re removing section 5.2 while we review it. Geni’s intent is that users’ copyrightable materials remain their own per provision 5.1 below—note the first sentence. The caps represent an addition.

5.1 Geni.com does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, “Content”) that you post to the Geni Services. After posting your Content to the Geni Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose. By displaying or publishing (”posting”) any Content on or through the Geni Services, you hereby grant, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO GRANT, to Geni.com a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on and through the Geni Services.

The Terms of Agreement Arba is referencing are currently under review. We’ll keep you posted as to changes that may occur–we’ll also post updates on the Geni Blog.

Geni has experienced a tremendous response, especially since the recent Wall Street Journal article. We are working as fast as we can to keep up with growing traffic and layer on new and exciting features–some of which are privacy related and include relationship-dependent displays of personal information. Different displays will be seen depending on whether the person viewing the page is an immediate family member, a blood relative, or a distant in-law. Users will also be able to choose options that shield specific information from others.

For those who’ve posted earlier: we do support same-sex relationships and are working on he adoption issue.

Bad idea. Look at the rights thay reserve. You give them the right to do what they want with your content. Look at item 2 under Proprietary Rights in Content. This is scary.

Brad Munchie, what are you talking about? There’s nothing new on the LDS website. Is it still familysearch.org? There’s nothing like geni there.

This is just a lame copy of what the LDS is doing on their new web site – and they announce it as their own idea? Huh?

It be interesting to see a mashup between Geni and http://www.ourstory.com. There you can post life stories, place information, photos and comments to other people’s life timelines. That combo might make it easier to post genealogical histories, not just the dates and places, but the actual life stories that make the biographies and place stories of genealogy so rich.

Is Geni doing any DNA testing as a supplemental product? Seems like it’d go hand-in-hand. I just had mine done at dnatribes.com and it’s amazing how different it is from the known family tree.

Sorry, it’s http://dandelife.com/ (not “dandilife”). Would be a great “mashup” to consolidate the lifeline of a single person into a family tree.

#33. yeah, Geni doesn’t recognize the fact that my father married our sheep, either – even though mama had enough facial hair that sometimes I could not tell them apart. it is an outrage, and may the odorous sweat of 1000 camels fill the nostrils of those who dishonor us.

@109, 52, 33, 5, etc:

I don’t think this is a question of morality or prejudice, although I certainly agree with you that they should allow a mechanism for homosexual marriages/unions. Consider: even adopted children aren’t the literal “children” of the people who raised them, even if they might call them “mom” and “dad”.

Maybe Geni is just attempting to map out what its name sounds like: the actual genetic links between people, not the societal links. If this is the case, it absolutely makes sense for them not to allow “parental” links between two people of the same gender.

However, from the terminology they’ve used on the website (i.e., “wife,” “husband”), I completely agree with you. They should change that or allow what you have asked.

LOL @ 109. I think he’s dead serious. That is one of the funniest “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” defenses I’ve seen in a long time.
