Interesting acquisition. A few other players could be snapped up for cheap. One I like is http://www.Hellotree.com
Dont think they have funding but quality is just as good.

Ouriel, you’re making the classic mistake of looking at just the .com domain. Unlike geni.com, MyHeritage is distributed across 20 domains including myheritage.com, myheritage.es and 18 other myheritage.* and by looking at only one of them you are observing only a fraction of the site’s traffic. Comscore shows MyHeritage as being at least 8 times larger than Geni in unique visitors. In terms of data, MyHeritage is 12x or more in all key metrics. There is no comparison.

@Jason maybe they do but on Google trends Geni looks in Better position

@Collin C indeed many seem to forget there are huge historical players out there and that the cost of switching to a new service in this type of category is very high

The family monopoly is won. Technology is all MyHeritage needed. They are already murdering Geni on the SEO front and now that they have the simple technology of Kindo, it’s over. Geni’s $100m can’t save them now.
