It's kinda cool the stuff you can turn up. One old college friend started a venture capital company, another from high school became an air force pilot and had 3 kids.

The problem is unless your friends have unusual names, there are lots of other people with the same name, many of who will come up first on google.

Either that or a lot of my old friends either died before they were born or are now in prison.....

anybirthday.com works better because there is more of a sanity check on the matching.

I guess that is a distinct possibility... I always was a bit mischievious and recognized some classmates on Jerry Springer.

If you google my name you get my webpage first, then a bunch of scottish people, I think a musician, owner of a publishing company, etc...

Yes, but with a model that has the same name as a friend of mine, it's kinda hard to find anything relevant to her.

Same here, I also tested the other 2 SFC's. Activision's program was messed up. Their beta page blew up and you had to email the guy to get reinstated, I never bothered. I did get a copy of the game which I promptly gave away because it sucked compared to the previous ones :)

Yeah, not much interesting about my HS friends.

The one's that I found info on were active in the business community. Presidents of civics clubs and stuff like that. Of course these were the same ones that were always very social in HS. Running for class president, joining clubs, and stuff like that.
