These days, families and friends are often spread far and wide across state or country lines. Children go to college; grandparents move to Florida; people move for their job or because they want a change of scenery. These distances make it hard for people to interact in any more significant way than gathering together once a year to share some turkey and pie (pecan, preferably).

Create a room where you can hang out virtually with friends; upload photos of the kids for everyone to see; write posts about what everyone is up to.
