High tech for parents
Microsoft Cozi.com has a new “social networking” tool aimed at parents and families.
Cozi.com has a calendaring feature, online shopping list, contacting family feature and photo screen savers.
(similar to the tools in Google, but much more easily accessible).
You can even message your family members via their phones, pda’s or email.
Google tools are excellent, but I do think Microsoft the Cozi group has beat them to the punch on the use of this tool for families, because Google’s pieces aren’t really all collected into one tool yet.
Update: Thanks to Samantha from Cozi for getting my details correct!

So excited to see this post! Just want to clarify that Cozi Central is not from Microsoft, but from Cozi Group (www.cozi.com). We just launched our product last September and we are getting very positive feedback from families and press. It’s a great tool for busy families to coordinate and manage all the things that they do with a shared calendar color-coded by family member, quick messaging tools, shopping and to-do lists as well as a dynamic photo collage screen saver that brings to life those rarely seen photos archived in the depths of your computer.
