What Was It?
Friends Reunited organized online contact around people who already shared a past, particularly former schoolmates. Discovery meant reconnecting rather than only meeting someone new.
The site's identity captures an early social-web promise: the internet could help recover relationships that had become difficult to maintain through ordinary changes of address and time.
