Reunion.com is the site of the week on PC Magazine

23 Jul, 2007 by David  No Comment

I’ve been out of high school for only five years, but every so often I wonder what my old classmates are up to. What ever happened to that weird kid in shop class? Where did the captain of the football team end up? Is that cute girl from homeroom still single? Reunion.com is the latest site aimed at helping you answer these and other burning questions. As befits a newer site, it has more of a social-networking feel than the older sites in the space. It’s got a bunch of nifty tools (it can tell you who’s looking for you, for example), But its search results are less reliable than Classmates.com’s, and the older site offers many more ways to network. Reunion.com makes up for these shortcomings, however, with its cool Outlook toolbar.

Hi5 and Tagged Receive Moola!

23 Jul, 2007 by David  No Comment

Word about social network Hi5’s $20 million financing leaked earlier today. But that isn’t it for social networking funding news. We hear it from a good source, but without confirmation by the company, that Tagged has raised its own $15 million round, on a $102 million pre-money valuation.

We do not know who made the investment. This is Tagged’s third round of financing. They previously raised two rounds - $1.5 from angel investors in September 2005, and $7 million from Mayfield three months later.
