While browsing my feeds from TechCrunch I found out this interesting article regarding knowing your relatives family Tree. Here are my comments with regards to the site :

• It is easy to join this site but why they are not validating the email address before proceeding ? This will be a sure entrance for spammers and hackers.
• They don’t even ask the new members to write some verification code while doing Registration.
• Since it is a requirement to have your email address in registration how safe it is from spammer considering the first two question I have raised above.  

I hope that these security issue could be answered by Geni for the user to have a happy tracking of their relatives and not just giving their email address to the hackers that might come to this site. Although the site is cool
