A social network with a member genetic context, arguably for reaching out to very extended family. As someone pointed out, this is an interesting mix of Facebook and 23andMe. Unfortunately, I suspect it could quickly devolve into a kind of ethic enclave/old boys network kind of isolated walled gardens. Worst case being a SNS catering to eugenics proponents, rotating around genetic segregation. Though that can arguably be said to already be in motion based on the expected DNA profiles insurance companies are collecting to charge extra to unhealthy bloodlines, which may also by accident or by design fall along ethnic/racial boundaries. Demographics coming back to bite us.
