Problem:
How to keep in touch with old friends from high school when
your graduation predated the invention of the Web by years.
Solution: Third-party Web sites that provide online meeting
places for alumni. Both Alumni.Net (http://www.alumni.net) and
High School Alumni (http://www.highschoolalumni.com) offer about
the same degree of utility: Either site encourages you to register
(at no cost), but you can still search for names without registering
first. Both sites also hide the e-mail addresses of alumni from
spammers by requiring correspondents either to register first
or relay a message by filling out a form at the site. (A third
site, ClassMates.com, requires a $25 registration fee before
you can contact anybody listed there.) For most folks, the "better"
site will simply be the one with more listees from their alma
mater--it's a popularity contest, much like most of high school
itself.
