When I found out all I could think was “Finally!” It’s such a great site, but so stuck in the 90’s with it’s subscription based revenue model. Now things have changed, rather than having to subscribe to send a friend a message, you can send them for free! This puts Friends Reunited more in line with the Facebook’s and Myspace’s of this world, and in some respects a lots better. No adding friends, or going to specific pages to find people – they’re already there.

This rethink, coupled with the site makeover has renewed my interest in the site immediately. After casual logins (probably 4 or 5 times over the last year) I can see myself checking up on the site more and more now. Of course, I don’t know if this means the people that are current subscribers get a refund. Perhaps if someone out there is a subscriber, you can let me know.
