We have all lost touch with dear friends over the years, some of which we have their contact information and or we could easily track them down through friends if necessary, others aren't quite that easy, some we would have absolutely no idea how to find even if we wanted to. This is where LongTimeLost.com comes in, the concept is simple enough, all that needs to be done is to leave a message with the service about who you are and who you are looking for, and if and when the person that you are looking for Googles themselves, your link will show up like a classified ad stating that you wish to reencounter them and your contact information. Just like the old classifieds, except 100% online and 100% free.
Long Time Lost is a free "service" (more so it is a software app written by someone who had some spare time, good programmer friends, a little bit of creativity and a lot of coffee) that allows you to create a "search" for someone you lost touch with. That "search" is then indexed by Google (and other search engines) and then when that person you are looking for (or someone who knows them) does a "Vanity Search" (the process of searching for one's own name on Google... we know you do it!) they find your "search" and can respond to you and reconnect. All information is handled through the system so your private information like your email address isn't out there on the net. It's new, it's Web 2.0, it's powered by Google, it's Ruby on Rails... and it's FREE... so check it out.
This website could definitely be a big help to people that are looking to find their old friends and the traditional routes aren't working. Its a breeze to sing up and post, the whole process only takes a few moments.
As of now the site is free and the only revenue they have comes from Google Adwords, they will have to get a ton of clicks for the site to really be lucrative.
