Happy Holidays from Tpstry

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

We hope you and your loved ones will have an enjoyable holiday season. This is also a great time to share Tpstry  with your family. At family gatherings you can ask relatives to help answer questions and also invite them to join your Tpstry family.

Here are some other ideas on how to add to your Tpstry family over the holidays.

Add Family Gatherings as Events
If your family gathers together for a meal or party, you can add that as an Event. For an event, you can answer where the event occurred and who attended it. By answering when an event occurred, it will appear on your timeline.

Upload Pictures of Christmas Morning
If you have kids, then you probably take pictures of them opening presents. You can upload these to Tpstry and mark when, where and who is in the picture. Just like an event, if you answer when the picture was taken, it will also appear on your timeline.

Remember Past Holidays
Maybe you and your relatives want to answer questions about past holidays. You can answer questions like: What is this person’s favorite holiday food? Was this person scared to get their picture taken with Santa Claus? What is this person’s favorite Christmas ornament?

We thank you for joining us in 2010 and we can’t wait until next year. We have lots of plans to make Tpstry even better. As always, we’d love to hear your feedback. You can reach us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/tpstryweb) , on Facebook (http://facebook.com/tpstry) and on your support website (http://support.tpstry.com).

Who can see my family history?

Privacy is a major concern for most people who use Tpstry, so we made it one of our major concerns too.

When you create a family and start answering questions, those answers are private. Only other users who you invite to join your family can see those answers. When you invite a new person to your family, you are giving that person the ability to read the existing family history, answer questions and ask new custom questions.

Search engines like Google cannot access your information so the general internet population will not be able to see your answers.

We will have additional security and privacy features available to our premium accounts when we launch those in a few months.
