Former PayPal Exec Map The World’s Family Tree

For several years now I have been saying that PayPal is out to rule the world. Former PayPal COO David O. Sacks is now out to map the world’s population using a giant family tree. The new web site Geni.com was recently launched and their press release states the site is one of the 1st to use ‘web 2.0′ social media, mass collaboration and user-generated content for genealogy.

Geni, Inc. was bank rolled by Founders Fund in San Francisco. Its also no surprise to learn that this is the venture capital company which was founded by former PayPal CEO Peter Theil.

CTO for the Geni, Inc and co-founder is Alan Braverman. Alan if you recall also founded Xoom another giant international money transfer company. I see a trend here :-)
