Amiglia.com is launching this month promising a truly amazing photo and social software technology for families. The site has been an immediate hit with the blogging community reaching LifeHacker.com, ParentHacks.com, BloggingBaby.com and dozens of others across the world.

“Amiglia.com is an indispensable site for the modern family” WWWhats New Web 2.0 site. Amiglia is focused on family networks, tying a visual and interactive family tree with an elegant online photo album. It makes it easy to connect nuclear and distant family, discover and archive old photos of common relatives and keep up to date with each other. The site includes a family calendar, birthday email reminders, family facebook, mp3 uploads for slideshows, video uploads, favorite recipes, family stories and bios, trip/vacation maps and powerful photo tagging and search.

“One of my faves is the kids game called Who’s That – it’s a great way insure that your daughter will most certainly know her relatives by face and sound” Cool Mom Picks parenting site. Amiglia.com just launched the first version of a kids game – currently for toddlers. Parents and relatives can record sound bites to go with their pictures. Particularly good for keeping babies familiar with relatives they don’t see on a daily basis, it also has a mesmerizing effect on the little ones. Amiglia has taken the basics of computer gaming for children, for example they can hammer away at the keyboard for extra effects but without navigating away or causing problems. As the toddlers get older the game will evolve to teach them to read, match places they’ve visited to points on the map, etc.

All this comes with easy mass uploading, upload by email or from your camera phone. Video clip support, no ads, advanced security, backup DVDs and of course storage of the original high resolution photos. Amiglia Basic membership is free giving 1GB of photos and videos per year and Amiglia Standard membership is $ 49.95/year giving 100 GBs of photo space per year (approximately 20,000 high resolution photos!). More pricing options can be seen on http://www.amiglia.com/intro/price.htm

Amiglia is built by a family for families. Amiglia was founded by father and son Tim and Paul Berry with the help of their wives Milena and Vange. It evolved out of a family photo site started by Tim and later perfected by Paul, which became a focal point for all the Berrys’ family pictures and memories. Paul is Sr. Vice President of IT of a publicly traded company and has several years of experience in building social software applications. Milena is a robotics engineer. Tim is President of Palo Alto Software, and one of the world’s most recognized business planning experts.

Amiglia.com is in final stages of public beta, and giving away a free membership to anyone who signs up during this time.
