How to stay in cybertouch

With redundancies and bankruptcies aplenty, one web entrepreneur has come up with a new website to help people stay in touch.

The site, www.pastworkmates.com , is like the popular www.friendsreunited.com , but allows old colleagues to hone "informal social and professional contacts".

It offers everyone who registers the opportunity to track down past workmates. You can post your own details and also take a candid look at some of the office antics.

So those of you who have lost your jobs, pensions, cars and homes in recent months can now let senior executives know how you feel.
