Friends Reunited
Site: Friends Reunited
Members: Over 19 million members
Features: Friends reunited is a UK based site that allows people to reconnect to people from primary schools, secondary schools, universities, streets, armed forces, teams, and clubs. Users are able to create their own profiles.
Users can keep a timeline, participate in groups, upload photos, create a profile, and message other users. The reunited platform also has other sites like a genealogy sites, a dating site, shopping portal, and games.
Review: Friend reunited is kind of like a classmates.com on steroids. It is broken down into more subgroups and allows people to connect. There is a lot of activity on the site and it has a steady stream of traffic. I don’t think the features that you get with it are groundbreaking it is a very simple site to use. I would say it is a great way to introduce an older set of people to social networking and allow them to reconnect with people from their past.
Design wise it has the typical light blue look of a lot of web applications (myspace, facebook, twitter). Navigation is easy. It isn’t anything groundbreaking but not anything absolutely horrible.
