Nasza-klasa.pl, now nk.pl (nasza klasa - pl. our class) is a large Polish social networking service, bringing together students and alumni.

Launched in November 2006, the service has 13.5 million registered users^[2]. It is owned by Forticom (70%) and Polish Nasza-Klasa Sp.z.o.o. (30%), the founding company of Nasza-Klasa.^[3]

Nasza-klasa is a website similar in concept to the American Classmates, allowing its users to register from particular schools and graduation years. The users are able to keep and maintain a personal page containing information such as their name, age, photos, interests and the history of schools and classes attended. Nasza-klasa doesn't require an invitation to join, however registration is necessary to browse the service. The leader of the project is Maciej Popowicz from Wrocław.

Nasza Klasa is compared to services such as Facebook or MyYearbook.

Possibilities

According to the initial use of the service nk.pl makes the lists of schools and classes accessible, to which a user may sign in as a student, teacher or a guest, or he may just check who has already signed in.

History

The web portal ‘classmates.com’ was established in 1995. On 11 November 2006 Maciej Popowicz, a student of information technology at the University of Wrocław, along with Paweł Olchawa, Michał Bartoszkiewicz and Łukasz Adziński, launched the website "nasza-klasa.pl". The name refers to the song “Nasza klasa” by Jacek Kaczmarski.
