BBC - Radio 1 - News - Been on Friends Reunited? The whole purpose of friends Reunited was not to find dates, at least not at first as they do now have a dating section, but I can't see how Friends Reunited can be blamed for a higher divorce rate. Friends Reunited makes it easier to get in touch with old flames especially if you've moved from the area and want to get in touch with someone after a long period. Before Friends Reunited you may have thought what someone from your past was up to, but it was a lot harder to trace that person, now you have a search engine thanks to Friends Reunited to find almost anyone you want. www.bbc.co.uk /radio1/news/newsbeat/051220_friendsreunited.shtml   (1614 words)

:: ak13 :: Ten reasons . . . not to visit Friends Reunited If that does not scare you enough, when you reunite with a friend of whom you have lost contact, you will probably discover either a) you can no longer be friends because you have nothing in common, or b) the reasons why you stopped being friends in the first place. But, in the information supplied on Friends Reunited, every time an exclamation mark is used, it reads like a scream from the void, appealing to the past to confirm to this person that their life has not been wasted. If you chose to reunite with your friends, it is usually because you think you may be able to sleep with someone that you used to stalk. www.ak13.com /article.php?id=287   (1136 words)

paidContent.org: The Economics of Content Tue 14 Nov 2006 11:53 PM Well, at least we have some numbers now...a year after UK broadcaster ITV bought the original social network Friends Reunited (it is like Classmates.com of UK), it has released some revenue numbers for it, even though the acquisition has not gone so well, according to industry analysts. Friends Reunited reported a 37 per cent increase in revenue to about $23 million in the first nine months of the year...this number comes as NTL makes a bid for ITV, and among NTL’s reasons: a need to revive Friends Reunited. Friends has lost share when compared with the social networking sites MySpace and Bebo, according to Hitwise data, though unlike the other two, Friends is has a subscription service as well. www.paidcontent.org /entry/friends-reunited-earns-23-million-in-first-nine-months-of-2006/#When:03:53:00Z   (619 words)
