    I love that I can find out about what’s happening with people in my hometown. Very original!

    It was really easy to change locations, so you can check in on where you currently live and get news from towns you’ve lived in before. So far for the zip codes I entered there were obits, anniversaries, engagements and military news. No news for my high school. I think it’s an interesting idea if more people sign up and enter their anouncements. I put it on “my favorites” list so I can check back on it.

    I am not terribly computer saavy and I found it pretty east to navigate and move around. Not too busy

    It’s a great site and will be better once it’s really up and running. I thought it was easy to navigate.

    I thought that the web site was OK. There were only a few notifications for my hometown for the past 60 days, and most were not relevant to my life. I did like the homepage and the first picture that popped up on my screen. It was a picture of an older woman kissing an older man on the cheek- couldn’t have been a sweeter photo!

    Cool site, I was able to look up military milestones for folks from my hometown.

    I like how you can see all the announcements, and even get them e-mailed to you. I thought was website was very easy to follow – it was not too cluttered with useless icons. I think it is easy for all age groups. I think it is cool you can put wedding announcements and birth announcements on there.
    I would like to see local garage or estate sales section added.
