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!

    Interesting concept of a site. I live in a small town and it can be hard to find things on our area. I was impressed that they actually had some content for my town.

    I thought this was a very interesting site, each page loaded fast,
    and I liked it that they had the local news for whatever zip code
    you put in.

    Easy site to load and get around . I liked that I could put in my zip code and get local information.

    xtraxtra is nicely easy to navigate – I especially enjoy the milestone portion of the website

    How sweet – I think most of us wonder what happened to old friends. That’s what I think!

  16. Danielle

    I thought the website had an aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable look. The links were easy to find!

    I added milestone-wouldn’t take my photos and I d on’t have the patience to figure out how to do it. That kind of thing is way to confusing – but myspace and facebook takes them no problem so I included link to my myspace page.

    I am amywill5918 on there

    Very neat website. I like how you can search any city and see engagements, obituaries, weddings, etc without going to that city’s newspaper’s website. I love the fact that they have all of a city’s newspapers and newstations in the bottom right corner.
    I registered on the site, followed them on twitter, became a fan on facebook, and already subscribe to your emails. This would be great to win! :) Thanks!

    It’s easy to navigate. I like the design. And I love the content as well. I didn’t dislike anything.

    I like that you can connect with long lost friends, including uploading your photo to share. Cool.
