Nesting Questions and Answers

Wendy Bellissimo

1. Is my information private?

No one else can see your homepage but you. And you have complete control over how much of your profile information is visible to other Nesting.com members. Simply click “My Account” in the upper right and select the “Privacy” tab. Here you can adjust all of your privacy settings to your choosing. Decide what information you want to be completely private, available only to your Nesting.com friends, or public to everyone. It's up to you!

2. Is Nesting.com free?

Nesting is 100% free, and is supported by the ads you see around the site.

3. How is Nesting.com different from other social networking sites?

Nesting.com is more than a social networking site - it's a personal assistant that helps you keep on top of every detail of your busy family life. Our innovative tools are fully customizable, and tasks that used to take days now only take minutes. Most social networking sites are primarily about meeting new people. But we know that parents are busy, and it's more important for them to stay connected with their existing social network of people that are already in their lives, rather than create an entirely new group of people that they need to keep in touch with.

4. What is tagging and why do I want to do it?

Tagging is an easy way to organize your information. You can tag photos and journal entries with who/what they are about, and later on when you need to find something specific, it only take seconds. Both our Memories Manager and Journal nests have a Tag Filter on the left side of the page that allows you to easily type in words and find photos and information that relate to the tags.

5. Can I order prints, photo books, and other keepsakes of my pictures in Memories Manager?

Of course! Our partnership with Shutterfly.com makes this a snap. Launching in the second quarter of 2008, with just a few clicks the photos you choose will be imported into Shutterfly's website where you can place an order for any of their products.

6. Why is nesting.com better than just coordination with the traditional phone calls and emails?

Trading phone calls and emails back and forth between multiple moms wastes a lot of time. It scatters information between lots of people and makes the simple process of setting up activities overwhelming. Nesting.com interconnects moms and activity leaders who are already using this outdated way of organizing and gives them a clean and simple place to centralize their calendars, conversations and photos. As each mom in her personal network of friends does simple actions like putting an event on a calendar all related moms get the information and can quickly integrate it into their own schedules and life. Nesting.com saves moms time.
