    I didn’t realize I was missing so much in the local newspaper – there were lots of obituraries that I must have missed….the site is extremely easy to navigate and I will go back to check out what’s new in my old neighborhood!

    I have to say that I was a bit dissapointed by this site. I’m sure I’ll be back to check on things later, but it had nothing happening in my area (I understand more than likely because it’s new), but I couldn’t opt out of emails. Oh, yes, the option was there but it gave me a login error no matter how many times I logged in to change it! I love the idea of the site, though

    Hello! I’ve been checking out your site for some time now and have really enjoyed it. I am now a subscriber and excited about the opportunity to win those great diapers and juice. Thanks!

    I liked the template. It was clean and easy to navigate and not too cluttered like some sites.

  8. Robin Clark

    I registered. I was really surprised to see how many announcements there were for my city! This is a neat idea.

    OK, checked out the site and it isn’t too bad. Left a milestone regarding my 20th High School reunion. It only took a couple of minutes which mostly involved me trying to figure out what to say.

    It is an easy site to navigate and gives you some nice options, although, I was confused when it asked me, ‘What year.’ I assumed it was for the year the event was a milestone for, but I could be wrong. Very nice that I didn’t have to send out a notice to a bunch of people to post the notice. I think if I had all the emails I wouldn’t need the site.

    One thing I didn’t like was that I had to put in the zip codes for where I wanted the milestone to show up. It would be nice if there was an option for the city since many people will first look for events happening in a city rather than narrow it down to a zip code.

    I think as the site grows it will find a new layout, which isn’t too bad, and also add a lot more content.

    Also, I have subscribed to your email updates!

    I don’t really understand the point of this website. Why would anyone use it? I can just e-mail people I know. I don’t know… I just don’t get it. I don’t really care what milestones some strangers have. I barely care about what milestones I have.

    It is a very easy site to navigate. Some people don’t seem to like it but it is great. It is like posting in your local paper, but for free.

  15. Sarra

    Neat website, nothing but obits for my area, but I was suprised to even find those!

  21. Jessica Holbrook

    Cool site. Love the idea. There was a lot more my local area. Seems easy to use.

    What a great site … I can read my local things or those from my hometown. It was very easy to navigate

    What a great site! I looked up my home town and then I looked up where I went to college, and then where I am now. There was all sorts of great information out there!
