The editors of PC Magazine selected WereYouThere.com as a "Cool Web Site."
"Even the smallest events in history are more than headlines and paragraphs in history books. The personal experiences of the people who witnessed or participated in the events are the real history, and are often overlooked. WereYouThere is a service designed to help people share those experiences and help others read and learn what it was like to be a part of history."

"It's easy to get lost on Were You There, trolling the memories of others for common ground. I found it fascinating how many different types of people had found the site. From survivors of Pearl Harbor to teens posting about their first kiss . . . It's a blast getting 'lost' browsing what amounts to snippets of the collective conscious."
"Best of the Web." Regina Lewis, national TV and radio contributor and internet trend expert.
"A new social-networking site is stirring up a bit of nostalgia in cyberspace. WereYouThere gives you a place to share memories of common experiences – from major events in history like Man Landing on the Moon, 9/11 or the assignation of JFK ... to lighter times like "Beatlemania," or Fashion Fads of the 70's. You can liven up your memories with photos and video and share them with friends and generations to come. . . . ENJOY."
