With press releases issued simultaneously in the UK and Tel Aviv, the Israeli company MyHeritage announced its acquisition of London-based Kindo, a social networking site. MyHeritage claims 25 million members worldwide. Kindo markets to families. According to the press release, MyHeritage will open operations in London where Kindo is based.
This is yet another example of Web 2.0 innovations going forward. I notice that Ancestry has been polling its members about social networking issues. The fact is, however, that not everybody needs to go down this road. We’ll explore that some more when my social networks series resumes in October.
