There are some things that the internet was just made for – web logs are one of them. Another is searching out people who you have long since lost contact with and the site Friends Reunited lets you do just that. You enter in details of yourself, the schools, colleges, universities and even workplaces you went to and then look through for names of people you remember.
I had a friend at school called Tenniel Garwes and I would, on an irregular basis, search for him on the Internet using Google and the like. Not once did I find any reference to him. Then looking through the details on Friends reunited there he was and before you knew it we were emailing each other about old times.
Friends Reunited is such a simple idea, it is just a large database after all, but great fun nevertheless and a good use of the technology.
