Reunion.com Launches First-Ever Way for Internet Users to Find Out “Who's Searching for You?”

Three Million Searches Already Tracked

Los Angeles – September 14, 2004 – Reunion.com, the leader in keeping people in touch online, today announced “Who's Searching for You?,” an unprecedented feature in online people search. By tracking user searches, this new feature allows members to find out who has searched for them.

“People are constantly losing touch as their lives change,” said Jeff Tinsley, CEO of Reunion.com. “Statistics show that nearly 40 million households in the U.S. move every year, and more than 40 percent of Internet users have changed their email address at least once in the last two years. That's why we see our role in keeping people in touch online as so important. As time moves on, it's more than likely most people would lose contact completely without a quick and easy way to stay connected.”

Through this service, along with access to up-to-date personal user profiles and online communication tools, Reunion.com is making it easier for people to get in touch and stay in touch online. When members discover who has been searching for them, they are given the opportunity to contact the individual who conducted the search through Reunion.com's private message service, rather than revealing direct contact information. In order to protect privacy, users conducting searches also have the option to delete their history so their search will not be made public.

“Who's Searching for You?‘ has quickly become the way for Internet users to learn if people are trying to contact them,” continued Tinsley. “Through this unique online service, our members benefit from the opportunity to not only look for lost family members or friends, but also reconnect with important relationships by learning who has been searching for them.”

Anyone surfing the Web can register free at www.reunion.com to find out how many searches match their name, age and location. In the future, Reunion.com is planning new people search features which will alert users if the person they're searching for has been added to the Reunion.com social network days, months or even years after their search.
