I was thinking about a "Facebook for families" just yesterday actually :)

When I started to think about it though, I realized that one thing is that you tend to be part of families that overlap. For example: my in-laws don't really know my siblings and even less my siblings' in-laws (whom I don't know very much myself) So, the schema tends to become exactly like Facebook: focused on user accounts linked between each other rather than families with members. So, I figured it wouldn't be easy to make it work since, as with any social network, moving over to a new one or managing multiple ones, is not easy. What are your thoughts about this? How do you deal with that?

Don't get me wrong though, I have been thinking about something like this for my family!

Also, what does the name Ramamia mean?
