Denise, Off the top of my head there is no studies on reconnecting with friends that I have seen. Great topic though and an untapped area. You may look for things mentioning classmates.com or sites like that. Also, you may look at some genealogy sites. I think that facebook is going to take over this role in the future but it is not there yet. Please let me know what you find out. M On 11/24/06, Denise Bortree <dbortree@bellsouth.net> wrote:
I'm looking for literature on reconnecting with friends online. Specifically, I'm starting a project on the way the internet can be used to search for and re-establish relationships with friends from former life stages. An initial literature search has generated very little.
If you have done work in this area or are familiar with studies that have looked at this, I hope you will share.
Thanks in advance.
