Due to hardware failure on the server, the Roundbook.com site was down for about a 24 hour period starting May 29th. This was as painful for me (if not more so) as it was for you. I'm truly sorry. The problem was out of our control. But the problem is fixed now. If you think you lost anything. Please contact me, we'll fix it.

Welcome to the Roundbook.com Blog

roundbook on Friday October 13, 2006

I'd just like to say that I'm very excited about what's going on at Roundbook.com. With great features and ways to Connect and Share with Family and Friends, and new ideas coming out all the time - this really is a wonderful website.

For those who have been using the site - you may have noticed an update to the style and the way a few things work. I'll post again on what can be done - but basically we're always trying to make things easier to use - and add more functionality. The biggest change here is that you can post public blogs! Just choose who you want to post your blog to - and those people will see it.

If you are new, then sign up and enjoy yourself. Check back here, at the offical Roundbook.com blog to see what's going on. On the official blog you'll get news, tutorials, and happenings.

For now here's a taste of the features we are planning:

User Administration

1. Parental controls – We are building in the ability to be the designated owner of other accounts. The idea is that I want my children to have a place to share things with their friends online, but I don’t want them sharing their lives with just anyone. The owner (parent) invites and accepts invitations on behalf of the user (child).

2. Designated helper – The second part of this involves being a designated helper. Rather than owning the account administration, the helper can help manage another user’s account. The example here is that my mom isn’t too keen on how to invite family members, so I can invite on her behalf from my account, rather than logging in to her account.

Ease of Use in Making Connections

3. User connections / Profile sharing – We are working on AJAX enabled sections that allow for easier social connections. A user will be able to search through their family and friends’ networks to find other users to connect to. Users will be able to view each other’s public profile, and decide from there if they wish to invite that person to join them.

Safety

4. Report abuse – users will be able to report any type of abuse. We are making a safe and clean online environment for families.

Sharing

5. Guest passes – We are working on a guest pass that a user can issue to people who don’t have Roundbook.com accounts. Roundbook.com is built on private networks between users. Since it allows for posting pictures, blogs (stories), etc., it is encouraged to share with all of your family and friends. And here’s the example – we just took pictures of my son in his favorite Superman outfit. I’ve posted those pictures and comments on Roundbook.com. Everyone that is connected to me can see those pictures. I also want to show the pictures to my co-workers, but don’t really want them permanently connected to me on Roundbook.com. I issue them a guest pass so they can see my account. They don’t need to have a Roundbook.com account, and they don’t have to be connected to me to see my son’s Superman pictures.
