Xtraxtra.com is your digital resource for news and milestones in your hometown and community. Just like your local newspaper, xtra xtra features the following milestones from locations across the U.S.:

birth, adoption, death, wedding, engagement, anniversary, birthday, academic, athletic, military, professional announcements, events, and photos.

But what sets the site apart is that all features are fully searchable making it easy to find the specific information you’re seeking! Registration isn’t necessary to use the site, but you get some great additional features when you register like the ability to send ecards and upload an unlimited number of milestones to keep your family and friends informed about your announcements.

You can even add an RSS feed for your location to your feed reader to stay on top of new milestones with ease!

Xtraxtra.com would love it if you’d give their site a little test drive. In exchange, you can earn entries for a chance to win a 16GB iPod Touch. What a fantastic way to put all that free music we’ve been finding lately to good use!

    I checked out XtraXtra, spending about 10 minutes there. When I entered my zip code, I got four pages of obituaries, one engagement, and a handful of announcements about locals who completed military training. Not sure that there’s a point to me registering or going back to the site, since all that information is both in the local papers and on their websites. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

    The site looks pretty cool and is pretty easy to use. Seems like fun since you can look up your area and find out what’s going on. I’m not sure i’d use it though. I don’t have enough time for Facebook as it is!

    Site is easy to use. The search function is cool, but there aren’t very many listings to view.

    My comment about xtra xtra: When I posted my milestone for our anniversary, I wish I had seen a place to post it on the actual day. The way it is now, I posted on June 9 for an event on June 12 so I don’t think it will show up on June 12…

    Hi, I checked out the site & found it very easy to navigate. It is a cool concept except in my present zipcode & where I grew up all I could find were obituaries. Thankfully no one I knew but I was hoping for events or something.

    I found that the site was easy to navigate. I liked that things were clearly marked and that you could choose which milestones to view, etc. I appreciate that there is a place to put these milestones out rather than just in your local paper.

    I earched for my zip code and came up with a bunch of annoucements and military graduates and such. Just didn’t seem like anything that really would hold my interesting and coming back to regularly. Maybe that is because they just don’t have alot for my area yet???
