    5 Stars Whatever Happened To Lanky John? 05/01/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free membership, Hours of Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages £7.50 per year for full membership

    Friendsreunited is a website where you can search for old school friends and if you find them you can make contact with them. The idea behind this website is so simple that not only is it ingenious, it is also the sort of website that everyone wishes they had thought of and designed first. I joined this site back in December 2001 after bumping into an old school friend (in the street not online) who told me that she had just joined this site and her knowledge of what most of my old school friends were doing with their lives astounded me to the point where I knew that I had to take a look, and ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very comprehensive database of schools, colleges and workplaces.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You need to remember to pay GBP 5.00 each year.

    When I moved to the States I gained a lot. Later on I discovered I’d not kept in touch with my school friends from 25 years before. I hadn’t even realized until I found this great website: Friendsreunited.co.uk. A close colleague from a previous job had sent me an eMail to ask how things were going, and in passing had mentioned the website. I decided to give it a go! >>> PURPOSE > THE LAYOUT > GETTING STARTED > RESULTS > OVERALL ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easiest way to track down old school friends

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I believe that the web site friendsreunited.co.uk, is an absolute must visit for anyone who would like to track down old school or college friends, to get in touch, or simply to read about what they might be doing. I found a review of this site in a magazine and explored it yesterday. To register, you must give some basic details such as name, maiden name and email address. A code is emailed to you, to enable you to complete your registration. you can then search for your schools, very simply, using a regional and alphabetical search. When you have located your school, and most schools in ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Getting in touch with old friends.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I found this site by chance, and it is strange as you get older. You tend to seek out your roots and want to know if anyone misses you from your childhood. Something to do with age I expect, and when I found this site, I thought it was a good idea to be able to look up people that went to school with you to see if they remember you. I actually caught up with a girl that I knew when I was 11 and boy have our styles of life changed since then. Still, nice to know I was remembered. They have now started a section for people who have worked in certain companies, and you can look up the year and ... more

    Advantages Advantages not as good as i was expecting

    Disadvantages Disadvantages free to join

    Sitting at home with not a lot to do a couple of weeks ago i thought i would join friends reunited to find out what old school friends were upto now as it has been quite some years since i left school. It was easy enough to register with this site and i only registered as a free member but have to say i am glad i did as this site realy didnt offer as much as i thought it would. Firstly the problem i found was that even though my primary school has been around 120 years and still open today it isnt on there so i went onto my secondary school which used to be two schools when i was there a boys ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Find school mates easily

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Been overtaken by other sites

    One of the benefits of the new social networking sites like facebook has been that being able to contact old school friends no longer costs you money which was always the issue with Friends Reunited as while you could view information on the site once you were registered you could only make contact with people if you paid a one off fee which used to be £7.50 but these days because of the changes to other sites it has now been dropped. Friends reunited is a site that allows you to link your profile to the schools that you used to go to, you need to also input the year you left and then you will ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looking up old school friends

    Disadvantages Disadvantages finding out people have changed!

    I've been on the FriendsReunited site for a while now, more or less from when it began. I loved seeing people's names come up for my school and reading all about what they've done since they left school etc. where they are living now etc. Then I started looking up friends that had been neighbours as well as I knew what school they went to and my word have some people changed. FriendsReunited was stared by a husband and wife team from their bedroom in Barnet, Hertfordshire as a "side line" and soon took off. They now have well over a million people on the database and its growing every day. You ... more

    5 Stars Get in Touch with your Former School Friends... 23/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free to register, Easy to access your former school and check to see what your former classmates are doing currently.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages To contact your former friends by E-Mail there is a £7.50 registration fee

    Since leaving school back in 1998 I decided to subscribe to a website called Friends Reunited. The site relies on former students posting information about themselves on the appropriate school board under the appropriate year of leaving. Once you have added information about yourself and what you are currently doing, you can also add a "weemee" which allows you to design a cartoon character which looks similar to yourself. The site has recenlty been re-designed giving it a more trendy look and it also has many new features, including e-cards which you can send to other friends reunited members ... more

    Advantages Advantages Old Friends Found

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None so far

    Friendsreunited.co.uk is a great site. Once registered it's easy, you just sit back and wait. So far I have just gone for the basic registration, and have not paid the £5 (price at the time) for advanced membership. I have posted my personal details, and a little history, on the site, which people can then read. You can also post infant, junior, and secondary schools, which lets all your old school friends find you, if they want to! When you look at the site, registered members are listed and you can click on their names for their details. So far I have made contact with serval old friends ... more
