AncestryDNA FINALLY introduces new "In Common With" feature, SHARED MATCHES

I opened up my AncestryDNA pages this morning and found a new feature that I have not seen before -- Shared Matches Tool.

Instead of wasting some time here typing something up (I have to teach tonight and work up my weekly genealogy columns today). I will defer to the Ancestry blog announcement at http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2015/08/26/see-your-dna-matches-in-a-whole-new-way/.

There is a secondary article on this by TL Dixon on the Roots and Recombination blog at http://www.rootsandrecombinantdna.com/2015/08/ancestrydna-finally-introduces-new-in.html. I have also posted the introductory video by Anne Gillespie Mitchell to a post below this one on this blog.
