    I checked out the website and think it’s very promising! I liked that they did have info for my city (Pittsburgh). I think they could work on a better home page or starting page for your city. I was a little confused when it just instantly brought up milestones. I did like the side bar on the right that gave links to other local news sources.

    I’ll be interested to see how this evolves!

    I checked out the site. it was very easy to sign up and quite a few people had already put in milestones. Pretty cool site, could be the next FB one day!

    I checked out the website. It’s pretty cool and interesting. I like the different sections. I didn’t find anything that I don’t like yet.

    I found the xtraxtra.com site easy to use with just the submission of our zip code bringing up local obituaries and such, however I did find the submissions scant. Not sure if the site requires members submissions, but did see that they relied on local newspapers. I can see how local events would be hard to include unless all newspapers had them headed the same as they do with obituaries. Thanks for a great giveaway!

    Xtraxtra is a great concept; however, the events didn’t match the ZIP code that I had entered. I think it’s a great idea to include events from nearby cities in the metroplex, but it would be nice to have the option to filter out ZIP codes or cities that I don’t want.

    I visited xtra xtra and while I think it is an interesting concept I found the information provided for my zipcode was mostly old obituaries posted from this past April. If it were more up to date I would love to use this service.
