Is Facebook killing high school reunions? Who cares! I mean, it could be:
“People have told me that now that they are on Facebook, they don't feel the need to go to the reunion,” Sullivan said.While Facebook and other social networks have been a godsend in helping reunion organizers [track] down classmates who have strayed over the years, they also cut the other way.
All the evidence in the article is anecdotal, so here's some more anecdotes for the mill: I heard that something like a half-dozen people showed up at my 10-year high school reunion (out of a class of 300) but I attributed that low number to the fact that most of my classmates still lived in southern Maine and could keep track of each other without a reunion. It's possible that the internet had something to do with it, I guess. See? The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming!
