Reunion.com is a social networking website founded in 2002 by Jeffrey Tinsley after meeting his wife at their high school reunion[1]. The company began with the acquisition of highschoolalumni.com and PlanetAlumni.com[2]. The website helps members find and stay in touch with friends, relatives and lost loves.
Reunion.com has more than 25 million active members[3], mostly in the United States and Canada.
Reunion.com has 2 types of members: Free Members and Premium Members. Free Members can,
- create personal profiles for others to find/view
- post photos to their own photo albums
- search for people that are also members
- view photos of other members
- send announcements to other members and non-members
- add themselves to their high school listings
- store information in their own address books
- write and read message board postings
- read and reply to messages from other members.
Premium Members, who pay an annual fee, can also do the following:
- see who has searched for them (a reverse search feature)
- see who has visited their profile
- send new messages to any member
- use website tools for planning reunions and events
- read more detailed profiles about other members
Reunion.com members use real names, not screen names. Member privacy is protected through a blind relay e-mail system, so e-mail addresses and contact information are never revealed unless self-disclosed by members one-on-one.
The company’s business model is based on user generated content and revenue from paid subscriptions and advertising sales.
