Very easy to navigate this website; I like the milestones
Site was easy to navigate I'll go there often.
Joined the fan page I think it'll be be the big hit like facebook!
XtraXtra is a very easy website to move around in. I like that fact that it is so simple.
Following on twitter!
I like this, it looks like it will be a quick & easy way to find information on various towns. Does it pull births, milestones, engagements, etc from the local news sources listed on the right? I didn't find an "explanation" of the site which might be expected on the umbrella page. It would help me understand what I am looking at a little quicker, but I got it within a few minutes.
I love the idea! There are a lot of listings in my area too. The navagation is really easy but I think the site itself is a little too simple/bland. I do like it though and will definitely be joining!

I'm assuming that they get the information from local newspapers? It's hard to tell. I like that the entries are clickable to their original articles.

Love the clickable links even in my small town!
Site was easy to navigate!
great site, easy to navigate and fun to use.
The site was pretty cool. Easy to navigate and interesting. It mostly found obits which was a little depressing, but it was really thorough.
I searched for the area where I grew up. There were only military service milestones and obituaries. I wasn't familiar with any of the service men/women, but I did know several people in the obituaries section. I married and moved away 35 years ago, so this is pretty much the only way to really keep up with people over the miles. The write-ups were touching and brought to mind many good memories of my youth.
Interesting site, easy to navigate around and find what you are looking for in your area. Different and unique. Thank you
I like the Hometown News & Life Events search bar! Great new site and giveaway! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
nice!
Wht a cool site. Wish I had something to add for my neighborhood! There were lots of weddings and engagements for my hometown, and I even recognized a few! :)
Just registered on xtraxtra! :-)

Interesting concept of a site. I live in a small town and it can be hard to find things on our area. I was impressed that they actually had some content for my town.
I thought this was a very interesting site, each page loaded fast,
and I liked it that they had the local news for whatever zip code
you put in.
Very cool website. Looks easy to use.
Easy site to load and get around . I liked that I could put in my zip code and get local information.

xtraxtra is nicely easy to navigate - I especially enjoy the milestone portion of the website
How sweet - I think most of us wonder what happened to old friends. That's what I think!
I registered at the site as amywill5918
I thought the website had an aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable look. The links were easy to find!
I added milestone-wouldn't take my photos and I d on't have the patience to figure out how to do it. That kind of thing is way to confusing - but myspace and facebook takes them no problem so I included link to my myspace page.
I am amywill5918 on there
Very neat website. I like how you can search any city and see engagements, obituaries, weddings, etc without going to that city's newspaper's website. I love the fact that they have all of a city's newspapers and newstations in the bottom right corner.
I registered on the site, followed them on twitter, became a fan on facebook, and already subscribe to your emails. This would be great to win! :) Thanks!
