Who is Ancestry Insider?

Ancestry Insider is a blog run by a genealogist who is sympathetic to Ancestry.com and another major family history website, Familysearch.org, but who feels they don't communicate that well with the people who use them.

Ancestry Insider presents the news that is put out by Ancestry and Familysearch.org and provides comment and analysis. Recent discussions have included revealing the similarities between some new sites, which have nothing to do with Ancestry.com, but which are designed to look a lot like them, perhaps aiming to make users feel they are using ancestry.

Another thread discussed the future of PAF, the free software that can be downloaded from Familysearch.org and used to store details of your family tree and family history stories.
