    Xtraxtra.com’s homepage looks very sleek and is easy to navigate from. However, the picture slideshow moves a bit fast and made me dizzy when trying to view the pics. What’s great is that you can see pics from your friends’ important events and hear about them, even if you couldn’t attend, in one easy to access place with the milestone feature. I will definitely tell others about this site. Thanks and have a happy 4th everyone!

    Seems simple to operate. I was expecting more information from local sources for my hometown and for the suburb I live in. Instead, there was a small amount of info, perhaps picked up when crawling local papers on an irregular basis. Would need a lot more useful content to make it a go-to source of information.

    That is a cool site, there was some thing about my home town on it. That is big, my home town is small. Thanks.

    This site is wonderful. It has such a neat and simple design. There is no need to search around to find one simple link. I like the diversity of events featured on the site. I can not wait until Detroit has something up there!

    I searched for my schools and nothing came up yet. So far there is not much motivation to get involved, but once it takes off, it’ll be great!

    Looks cool. Had to search my home town because nothing was posted here in the sticks of NC.

    Naigation and functionality are adequate, however , the site is a little drab visually.
