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!

    What a neat site. It is easy to navigate and understand, very simple to use. All the ads on the sides make it a bit slow to load, but it’s understandable to keep it free. Cool find, than you!

    I typed in the zipcode of my hometown and LOVED seeing the children of some of my friends wedding’s, etc. announced. It made me miss home. It was very easy to navigate, although I’d like to see MORE than what they’ve got now. I like it, but there’s a lot of room for growth in this site.

    Interesting concept for a site. I checked out my high school and college and there were no milestones for them yet. It took me a minute or two to figure out what the site was all about. Overall, it’s fairly easy to navigate but something about the font or graphics seems a bit kiddish to me, not professional looking.

    I liked that you can search by the different milestones, and click only the one’s you’re interested in reading about. This looks like a neat website, thanks for sharing the link!

    Blessings,

    Neat site — easy to navigate and cool milestone info. If it takes off, it will really be worth checking every few days.

    Since I am quite computer illiterate, I can only give you my impressions, not expertise. I like the graphics, they flow smoothly and are pleasing to the eye. The site loads quickly, a real plus, and doesn’t cause my computer to pop up warnings. I guess I would call Xtra Xtra a “feel good” site….calming with a family feel. I am not computer savvy enough to make suggestions on improvement.

    Thank you. :-)

    The site was extremely easy to navigate! I’d like to see a Local Rummage Sales section!

    I like the website very much! I looked up my zip code and found news about my very small town I live in. There was a lot of information and it was very up to date and modern.

  25. Lynda Ball

    I love finding new sites with local info. love that you can select just the categories that you want to view and organize by date.
