What I hope to do is provide a place for things of interest to my friends. My plans are to include a section where my friends can submit a name to be added to a list of people that I or one of my other friends is looking for. With a little luck and some time, the search engines will find the name and point people to this site. The information can be updated as information comes in.
Think www.classmates.com or www.reunions.com without having to pay any money to get information out. If you tried either of them they make it easy for your to add your information but then charge you to find out about anyone else. Since this will by default be a small group of people, I can do this for me and my friends by hand for free.
