Google Contacts and Geni
An open letter to Larry Page. Larry, hope you will forgive the informality. My Mother did teach me better manners, but since I am older then you, I figured I'd just go with Larry. Several years ago I was hoping like crazy that Google would buy Geni or Ancestry.com. As you can tell, I'm into Genealogy. But you don't need to do that, as Google contacts has to only have some features added to it and you can take over this space, not to mention also Corporate Directories. Here is my proposal. Contacts has recently had relationships added to it. Today you can add Mother, Father, Brother, Sister. You need to add Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Nephew, Niece...... you get the idea. Next, for contacts that have a family relationship, you need to add, Place of Birth, Date of Death, Place of Burial.... etc. So far, I would think that these would be fairly simple things to add to Contacts. Now comes the good stuf...
