Has anyone tried the new Web2.0-esque website Geni (http://www.geni.com)? It allows you to very quickly and easily build your family tree, and also works like a private social network for your family.
Plus, they now have Gedcom export, so after collaboratively entering your family data, you can always download it and keep it offline (there's a great genealogy program called Gramps for Linux, that supports Gedcom import).
I've been using this site for a few months, and now actually got a summer job doing interface design for them (my Linux skills really helped there). So if you have any feature suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them. :)
