Me, Friends Reunited, and Radio 4

by on April 10, 2012 in socialmedia

So out of the blue I got a call from BBC Radio 4 to go in and talk about the recent relaunch of Friends Reunited on the You and Yours programme. “Friends Reunited has relaunched?” thought I.

Sometimes a healthy dose of pure tech can do you the world of good.
