Frequently Asked Questions

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!

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

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.

What is a nest? A nest is what we call each of the individual modules (or rectangles) that you can place on your Nesting.com homepage.

How can I customize my homepage? Nests can be placed anywhere you want on your homepage, simply by clicking and dragging to the place you want them. And whenever you come back to Nesting.com, they are still right where you left them. If a particular nest doesn't interest you, just click the “x” in the upper right corner and it will be removed from your homepage. And if you want to add something new, visit our Nest Library to find a comprehensive directory of all our available nests.

What does it mean to be a “Nesting.com friend” with someone? Nesting.com friends are members who have decided they want to share information and communicate easily with each other. They can be members who also know each other in real life, or they can be members who just met online.

How do I invite my friends to join Nesting.com? Click on the “Tell Your Friends” link at the bottom of the page. Nesting.com can check your web-based email address books to see if anyone you know is already on Nesting .com, as well as send out invitations to join to those people who haven't already done so.

How do I see who is already a Nesting.com member? Click “Members” on the navigation bar at the top of the page. Here you can search for Nesting.com members based on geography, ages of children and gender of children.

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.

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.

How do I see what my profile looks like to other people on Nesting.com? Click on “My Account” and then “View My Profile”. Don't like how it looks? Go to the Privacy Tab to adjust your settings.

Is there a demo I can watch? Funny you should ask! You can watch the video demo here »
