I dig the idea. Facebook has definitely broken down from me with trying to selectively share certain statuses and photos across friends and family of different backgrounds. With two small kids we love to share photos with our family members overseas, but censoring everything else we say for relevancy is a challenge. Circles were a good idea, but still too much work IMO.
Perfect! It's been surprising how intuitive it is to people that Facebook doesn't work for families. It's an unspoken truth - younger people use it to connect with their friends, and many older people are on it strictly for family. It's a core disconnect that Facebook has done a terrible job of bridging.
Let us know when you get a chance to try out the site and share with your global family! My grandparents all the way in Mumbai just sent in some photos this morning. They would have never been able to do that on Facebook - nor would I have accepted their friend request :)

Looking forward to watching this develop further!
