There used to be these things called search engines, and we would be able to type the name of the school and the year we graduated, and the site would be one of the first results.
The domain was named to indicate it was reunion related.
If you couldn't find somebody's email address, you emailed their friend, or called them, and asked, "Do you know how I can get int touch with so and so...?"
YOU WOULD NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANOTHER HUMAN TO OBTAIN INFORMATION.
But now, if it takes any effort to communicate with somebody, it doesn't happen.
Only the easy communication...and there is not much substance to it (bullshit small-talk or just posting links).
Are you the person that went through all that hunting and enjoyed the process or rather other people spent their evening by that work?
Facebook is killing communication and friendship much less then 80 hours a week work schedule combined with long commute and with people changing jobs every 2 years on average. And maybe add to it nearly complete isolation after people have children. If any moment not spend with work or personal project is considered lazy, relationships have to go away.
