Check out a cool new site and you could be the lucky winner of a 16GB iPod Touch (ARV $299)!
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!

I learned that they don’t have anything going on in my city.
John Stetson
They didn’t have much on my city or my old high school. I expect the site will be adding more data as time goes on.
Susan Kieu
The site is very simple and organized making it easy to navigate. I think it looks very cool and professional. What I didn’t like is that there is very little information about the site.
Ed VanEtten
I prefer Facebook, no need to hear updates from strangers

I like the fact that it is easy to navigate but my city is not on there. Oh well! Small town= no news obviously!

whoops I think I typed my zip code wrong. I see the information now! This is so cool because I don’t get a daily paper (something had to go b/c of the “recession”) I suscribed via e-mail!
Thanks!

I like that I can put in the zip code of any town I like. That way I can catch up on the news in my hometown and don’t have to rely on my Mom’s phone calls to tell me who did what!

I checked out the website and think it is pretty cool. I think the front page could give a little more info about how people could find the site useful. I put in my zip and thought it was cool that my newspaper link popped up.

Very interesting. Being from a small town, it’s hard to find much info online about the area, but xtraxtra actually has a fair amount of info. I especially like the ability to add the local news to my RSS feed.
