www.friendsuninvited.com
Had an idea for my own web start up yesterday,
http://www.friendsuninvited.com/ would be the site you could log on to register all those empty offers that are made to you by strangers during drunken conversations in the early hours.
Then 5 or 10 years down the line, when you actually do find yourself in Wolverhampton, you can hook up with the family whom you met on the last night of your package deal to Faliraki and take them up on the offer they made of a bed for the week.
What do you think....? Lets face it the sort of people that contact you as a result of
www.Friendsreunited.com are usually the ones you were glad to get away from anyway. The whole reunited genre has fallen a bit by the wayside - after an initial burst of broken families, and a few rekindled friendships, its main use today is to reaffirm that the kid that bullied you in school is now digging holes for the council, and to give you a forum to lie about being the CEO of your own .com startup.
It's worth noting that a number of companies
admitted to using FR as a third reference before employing someone, so postings about what you and Stinky Jefferies did to little Sarah Barker behind the cricket pavilion are unlikely to enhance your standing in the upcoming mayoral elections.
Damn just checked, it seems that someone has already registered
www.friendsuninvited.com
already to publish some very dodgy but amusing pictures!
Back to the drawing board.
