Years ago if you lost contact with someone you would have probably ended up hiring a private detective as huge expense but Google has really made a massive impact.
Late last night here myLot was playing up a bit so I got doing some searches to occupy me and decided to Google an ex boyfriend of mine.
A friend had started a discussion regarding smells bringing back memories and I said how cucumbers reminded me of an eye gel I had when I was 13 and brought back fond memories or my boyfriend at the time I used to go swimming with that I though I was too cool for.
Well I googled him - and guess what, he has his own photography business. He has done so well for himself. Much better than me anyway who is working in a call centre and currently applying for a job doing telephone banking.
So really I can eat my words, I ain't too cool for him. He has done far better than me. I messaged him but as yet no reply.
We should all take this chance now to Google someone we used to know a long time ago and share our stories of what we find.

They don't have to be famous for it. They just have to have their name somewhere on the internet. Do your own name and see if you find yourself?

I can't seem to find anyone like that. Do you just put their name in? I think it would be fun to find old boyfriends and have a chat!!
