Well, for all the genealogists out there or anyone researching their family trees, this may be good news and it may be bad news... Ancestry CEO Tim Sullivan stated: "We will maintain Find A Grave as a free website, will retain its existing policies and mode of operation, and look forward to working with Jim Tipton and the entire Find A Grave team to accelerate the development of tools designed to make it even easier for the Find A Grave community to fulfill its original mission to capture every tombstone on earth."
This may have all started when Ancestry began to collaborate with Find A Grave. Ancestry's leafs will show up when Find A Grave matches an entry in your on-line tree or your Family Tree Maker tree. Note that BillionGraves.com is also showing up. Can there be another "collaboration" in the future? Can there be a melding of Find A Grave and Billion Graves? One is certainly substantially larger than the other. And one is certainly more technically advanced that the other as well!
There's an interesting article by Tom MacEntee at www.hackgenealogy.com that you might find interesting.
