Denise,
 
In the Web searching area, there has been work in name searching, which is certainly a tie in.

Subject: [Air-l] Reconnecting with friends online



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.
