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 found it very easy to navigate, especially based on the fact that I live in a small town and there were only 4 pages of news for my community

    I checked out the site, seems pretty easy to navigate. I may be missing it but I wish it had a way to jump directly to a milestone ie birthday’s, graduations etc. I will search more it may be right there under my nose.

    I added a Milestone. Check it out under zip code 34761 (the one about my babies b-day).

    Sadly, I did not find their site all that interesting. For my area it was mostly Military info, Engagements and Weddings. I can see all of that in my local paper (if I happened to be interested, and I’m not).

    I really like the idea of the site and found it very easy to navigate. I couldn’t find any information about my city, but maybe with time something will be added.

    xtraxtra is nice, I will tell my friends about it so we can keep up on the hometown news.

    I guess i was thinking local news would be more highlighted. I wasn’t really interested in knowing the obituaries. Could be really cool once it gets going. Our local newspaper doesn’t allow us to read the paper on the internet unless we are subscribers so I was hoping this would be local news.

    Interesting site and easy to navigate. However, I don’t really keep up with these things. Would be great for those if it’s updated.
