Vancouver based Uniserve has decided to take a slight side track from they usual business of delivering voice and data communications services to small and medium sized businesses and residents across Canada to jump into the crowed space of family friendly sites. The new 
site is called Kinzin and according to Kate Trgovac “it’s an online gathering place for families where you can share news, stories, milestones, events and photos as well as create keepsakes like photobooks.”
The service was down at the time of writing this, but according to their site users can invite family and friends and then share photos, recipies and other families memorites amongst each other which are all great “features” but it sounds very familiar to sites have already been providing these type of services for a long time and ones with deeper pockets and even deeper than that. Time will tell whether this new venture comes out with a more robust offering or if they’ll just be another “me too” service.
Hi, Dave ..
Thanks for the link! We, of course, believe we’re not a “me too” service
From a pure list of features perspective, it could be seen that way, but the content model and the interface for Kinzin evolved after spending a considerable amount of time with people who want to do things like share family news, photos and stories but were currently having a surprisingly hard time doing so. Though you can see how “Our content model rocks!” doesn’t make the best marketing copy 
Also, surprised to hear about not being able to access the site. I checked with our system folks – there was some high usage this morning (PST) around when you posted, but at no time was the site “down” from our network’s point of view. I invite you to come back .. and please let me know if you continue to have access issues.
Cheers .. Kate
