Myfamily.com

myfamily.com

myfamily.com is an out-of-date social network site which has recently been replaced by newer internet 2.0 sites like Facebook, MySpace etc.

It is good, as its name suggest, for families to share experiences and photos.

However, like Facebook etc, myfamily.com is not suitable for organizations, clubs, associations, companies and other loosely knitted groups.

Like other social networks, people can harvest your personal contacts / clients / customers (eg emails) and basically co-opt them to their sphere of influence. Its two-way interactivity and forum-like features also gives rogue members the ability to subject your contacts to junk mails and worst post articles that could work against your best interests.

Everyone who have used these sites will tell you how easy it is to get personal contact information of your contacts once they become "members". So if security is of great concern to you, you might want to reconsider the use of such social networks.

Moreover, myfamily.com is not a free site like Facebook. You'll have to pay an annual fee. Functionality-wise, it has limited features, making it more a word and photo sharing site. If you do not renew, all information will be lost as you cannot migrate the information to another social network site.
