Reading through the FAQ's etc, it is still in beta and you can't add your own tree to it yet.

For those wondering where the initial records have come from, there is this:

Findmypast has selected FamilySearch, curators of the largest shared tree in the world with 1.2 billion unique ancestor names, as the cornerstone of this initiative... Ancestry's OneWorldTree was largely a computer-generated tree, whereas Findmypast's new product is based on the FamilySearch family tree, which is curated by a vibrant community of users.

So, definitely full of rubbish! And as for the "unique ancestor names" and it being "one single tree", just searching for one particular ancestor who I know crops up in lots of trees with wrong information, I found five different versions of him on there.
