KinCafe - Has a much more pleasing interface than Famundo, but nowhere near the amount of features. Still, many will prefer the less is more offering here.

Geni - Has a powerful and elegant family tree maker online. It includes photos of family members and contact information. Though it needs the ability to connect, search and download from an ancestry database of some kind.

GeneTree - Provides family tree building with a twist. They introduce the concept of connecting to relatives through DNA on a global level.

MyHeritage - A popular family tree creation service.

Genoom - Families can create their family tree together and share memories, photos and stories, too.

Conclusion

Social networking has come to families in a big way, enabling relatives to take full advantage of these tools to stay in touch. While some attempt to provide families with everything they need, others are trying to carve their own little niche by providing a single service. Ultimately, every family will need to try different services to see which one will best suit their needs.
