Good post, Chris. When you get people over the threshold to start exlporing social media they often get hooked. I have two suggestions to add to your list: * As Christmas is very much a family holiday a "genealogy 2.0" site would be of interest. Personally I use geni.com the (and have explored a few others). Get your family to contribute to the family tree. Add pictures and information. Invite your relatives. And encourage them to invite their families (which might not be part of "your" family if you talk about eg your cousin's in-laws etc). It is really fun to see the family social network expand. (and Chris, if you're on Geni.com, feel free to add me as "family friend" if applicable) * During christmas my wife has worked on a school assignment together with a co-student. This time I managed to get them to explore and use Google Docs instead of sending numerous copies of Word-documents back and forth. Worked well (even if they did teh final editing in word to get all the formatting features). So, for the relatives that are attending school or otherwise do joint writing - point them to Google Docs or a similar service. So, the Christmas season is over, and I am catching up on some feeds.
