Friends Reunited was launched primarily as a way to find long-lost childhood friends by signing up with your details and "adding yourself" to your old schools, universities and workplaces. You can then browse through other people who are listed at these places and get back in touch with them. When you join, you create a profile which describes what you've been doing since you left school, whether you're married, have kids etc. There are other fun profile questions such as whether you have pets, where you've travelled to in the world etc. You can create "friends lists" where you add people you're particularly keen to keep in touch with and you can ...  Read the complete review

I remember first signing up to this website in about 2001. It was quite a fledgling site at the time with only a few thousand members (if my memory serves me right). Over the coming years it received more and more publicity on the radio and tv, encouraging people to make contact with old friends from school and university. This had the desired effect that millions of people signed up, and this made the site very popular. The site allows people to create a profile. This starts with your age and DOB, along with the schools that you have been to. This allows others to search you by name or school year. A fantastic idea. Going back a few years the only way you ...  Read the complete review

I have very mixed views on Friends Reunited Firstly, despite being a member for probably 8 years apart from reuniting myself with my partner Sue I have never actually been contacted by anyone from my school, college or polytechnic/university. Guess that tells me something!? When I first joined, e-mails to other members were nigh on impossible and whatever you wanted to do it came with a price. That to an extent still happens, but the emphasis seem to be moved to their dating service. There are a number of members from my old school and college that I remember, but none of the friends that I was hoping to see. Sure I remember many of ...  Read the complete review

Friends reunited is a website that lets you find out what all your old school friends are up too. It also allows you to see what other groups of people from your past are up too. You don't have to join the site, you can just look at people from your past by either typing in there name or typing in your school name, however if you then want to send someone a message you have to become a member. Membership is free however and you don't have to give too many details. When you join you enter the schools and college you went to and the year you left and how old you were when you left, this then adds you to the list of school members from your year (I ...  Read the complete review

Now Hewitt, I know you asked for some extra time for your homework but I think 30 years is a bit excessive don't you? I remember well the buzz which was generated when this site first came into prominence. It must have been around 2000 and goodness what a great concept. The idea is very simple. The site is a means of getting in touch with old school friends. From my point of view it was fantastic to re-aquaint myself with old chums from Primary School and Secondary School (trust me, that was more than a damn few years ago now!) As the site evolved they added extra elements such as contacting people where you live and where you used to ...  Read the complete review
