I'd rather go to Cyndi's List

Pros: Well, it works - and for the programmer it's probably a useful way to keep all their favourite links in one place.

Cons: What the programmer finds useful is not necessarily what you will find useful, especially if you come from another part of the world.

While the buttons give site names, they only give a short description of the actual content if you hover over them which is a real pain. I didn't want to waste my time visiting heaps of sites of no use me whatsoever while missing out on a site that possibly is of real value to you because it had a funny obscure name!

With internet resources changing constantly, and no update mechanism, the program will have a very limited shelf life.

A more comprehensive list of sites is at the Cyndi's List website (for example, there are plenty of others) - it's also free, it's kept updated, and it has many more links in more detailed cateogies. It fills the same purpose as this program, only does it better.

Cute diagram - but limited capabilities

Pros: Cute way to have a quick look at other people's GEDCOMs.

Cons: The genogram view concept is all well and good if you don't have too many people in your family tree, but get a few hundred (which really isn't that many!) and it's not so practical anymore.

Doesn't take in all data from standard GEDCOMS.

Limited ability to enter all the information you might want to, and add sources.
