FamDing is a private website for your family. You can think of it as Facebook exclusively for your family members.
Unlike other big social networks we focus on privacy. You have complete control over who is allowed into your network
and who can see your posts, pictures, and other information. We hope this website compliments your current social networks and lets you
share things that you would prefer to be amongst only the people closest to you.
Why can't I just use Facebook or Twitter?
You can and we encourage you to do so. We personally use Facebook as a public forum for chatting and sharing. Think of it like going out to a bar or
restaurant with your friends. You can talk, socialize, and have a good time but anyone can overhear your conversation (some you know and some you don't).
FamDing is private. You know who is listening. We feel it is akin to hanging out at a big family reunion in your living room, with the door shut, of course.
How private is private?
FamDing is an invite-only community. You create a family group and as the administrator you decide who is allowed in and who must leave.
No one from the outside world (including search engines) can view your stuff unless you specifically share it yourself.
So how much is this going to cost me?
FamDing is free and will always stay that way. In the future, we plan to create premium features that will have a small charge
but that will not be required to use the site.
FamDing Features
We offer many tools to help you and your family learn about each other and share life's precious moments. Here are some highlights:
Family Albums
This is by far our most popular feature. Upload photos and organize them by album. Use our simple uploader tool to import
100 images at a time. We store all images at full resolution so you can always download the original. You can even download
an entire album as a zip file if you'd like a local copy.

Recipe Book
Save your grandma's secret pumpkin pie recipe or share your favorite late night snack recipe. Add a recipe and hear about
how much everyone loves it! You can upload photos of your creation once you are done.
|
Gift Lists
If you have a big family like we do, Christmas and other holidays can be hectic. Who bought what for who!? With the gift
list feature, everyone enters what they would like and everyone else checks off what they purchased. Everybody wins!
Sorry Aunt Betty, no more socks.

Online Chat
You can now see who is on the site at the same time as you and chat with them in real time. This is a great tool
if you have a grandpa that doesn't do instant messenger. Chat, send emoticons, and even play a game together.

Address Book
Keep all your family addresses in one place for easy lookup. Want to send out Christmas cards? Use this
master list to always have the correct info.
|
Shared Calendar
The hardest part about a big family is remembering everybody's birthday, anniversary or any other special date that might
come up. With the shared calendar, anyone can enter these important events and you'll get a reminder on the big day.
