Agreed, you should absolutely call your parents (I call mine about once a week). StoryWorth isn't meant to substitute for a relationship.

I don't think it's an either/or though. One important part of StoryWorth is that these stories are saved for future generations. For example, my paternal grandmother died before I was born, and I would love to be able to read her stories today.

Is this actually promised anywhere on the site? What happens if you stop paying the $49/year? What happens if they go out of business?

Great question. You can download all your stories at any time (pdf and mp3), so you're never locked in. I spell this out at www.storyworth.com/privacy.

These stories are really important to people, so it's really important to me that people don't lose access to them.
