In the Works at Roundbook.com
Without getting into too much detail, we do have a lot of features planned for Roundbook.com (this is in addition to general clean-up we are also doing while the site is in beta).
Some revolve around additional functionality, most involve simplifying the process to stay connected to family and friends, and to add new people to your personal network.
So here’s a high level look at some of what’s coming.
User Administration
1. Parental controls – We are building in the ability to be the designated owner of other accounts. The idea is that I want my children to have a place to share things with their friends online, but I don't want them sharing their lives with just anyone. The owner (parent) invites and accepts invitations on behalf of the user (child).
2. Designated helper – The second part of this involves being a designated helper. Rather than owning the account administration, the helper can help manage another user's account. The example here is that my mom isn't too keen on how to invite family members, so I can invite on her behalf from my account, rather than logging in to her account.
Ease of Use in Making Connections
3. User connections / Profile sharing – We are working on AJAX enabled sections that allow for easier social connections. A user will be able to search through their family and friends' networks to find other users to connect to. Users will be able to view each other's public profile, and decide from there if they wish to invite that person to join them.
Safety
4. Report abuse – users will be able to report any type of abuse. We are making a safe and clean online environment for families.
Sharing
5. Guest passes – We are working on a guest pass that a user can issue to people who don't have Roundbook.com accounts. Rooundbok.com is built on private networks between users. Since it allows for posting pictures, blogs (stories), etc., it is encouraged to share with all of your family and friends. And here’s the example – we just took pictures of my son in his favorite Superman outfit. I’ve posted those pictures and comments on Roundbook.com. Everyone that is connected to me can see those pictures. I also want to show the pictures to my co-workers, but don’t really want them permanently connected to me on Roundbook.com. I issue them a guest pass so they can see my account. They don’t need to have a Roundbook.com account, and they don’t have to be connected to me to see my son’s Superman pictures.

I forgot one - maybe because it is so obvious to me. We are working on the Calendar to allow for coordinating events, more than just birthdays and postings.
