Classmates CEO Celebrates 20 Year Mark, Examines Evolution of Social Media

Dubbing itself “the first social network,” Classmates started in Seattle in 1995 as a way for high school alumni to connect with one another.

Nostalgia. You know you love it. And when you start to hit middle age, sometimes, you crave it, and the need to look back can only grow as you age.

Some like to look back to see how far they’ve come. Others look back and think, “What happened?” And still others wonder what happened to The One That Got Away. Whatever side you’re on, remembering the past is a fun adventure and Classmates has been helping people look back at their former selves for the last 20 years.
