Check out a cool new site and you could be the lucky winner of a 16GB iPod Touch (ARV $299)!
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!

Great way to find info on people and events from your hometown you may miss just by using a newspaper site.
Tia
The site is easy to navigate and easy to sign up for. Mostly obituaries in my area currently. A cool tool!

I was very suprised that even my tiny town had some information up!
Tia
I blogged about the giveaway here!
Michelle
Yes, I thought the site was easy to navigate. I liked filtering the information on the left side, so I didn’t have to look at things that bore me. My hometown is teeny weeny, so there wasn’t a lot up for it; no pictures, and my high school wasn’t there.
Michelle
I subscribe to your email updates.

It’s a neat idea…although there’s not much in there for my hometown as of yet. Easy to navigate. It will be interesting to see the site develop.

My feedback – I find the site to be a lot like ancestry.com. It didn’t have any info from my hometown in CT but had lots of obituaries for my current town in MA.

wasn’t anything for my hometown or college, but there was a lot of things for my current town. Thanks for the heads up.

I like the site. There were lots of announcements in my city, so I spent a while perusing the names for familiar folks. Very neat idea!
