A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book contains (包含) the name, photo, and signature (签名) of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this. They thought, "Why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people's            music tastes, the movies they like, and so on."
Catherine thought of the name—myYearbook.com, and the logo (图标). To advertise the site. Catherine and David wore T-shirts with the site logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became users of the site. She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.
My Yearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and "collecting" friends. They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos, homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can't make friends more easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.
Users can also make "Lunch Money" by doing activities on the site. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate (捐赠) it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km²of rainforest, cleaned up million kg of CO₂, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university where they still spent 50 hours a week on the site.
