Karl isn't Friends Reunited better for finding old Friends?.
I thought Facebook was more of an socializing website & not for finding old friends, maybe I am wrong.

Who Are Friends Reunited?:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_reunited
Friends Reunited is a portfolio of social networking websites based upon the themes of reunion with former friends, family-history research, dating and job-hunting.
Each site works on the principle of user-generated content by which registered users are able to post information about themselves that can be searched by others.
People can contact each other via a double-blind email system, but only after paying a subscription.
The main Friends Reunited site is concerned with reuniting people who have in common a school, university, address, workplace, sports club or armed service; the sister-site Genes Reunited enables members to pool their family trees and identify common ancestors; the Dating and Jobs sister-sites link members with similar attributes, interests and/or locations.
The website claims 18 million registered users, which it believes equates to \"about half of all UK households with internet access\"[1].
Friends Reunited branding has been attached to CD collections of nostalgic popular music, and television programmes broadcast on the ITV network, which owns the site.
A book of members' stories was published in 2003 by Virgin Books.
