Nasza-klasa.pl, now NK.pl (nasza klasa - pl. our class) is a large Polish social networking service, bringing together students and alumni, although now it is commonly used by the general public in Poland.

Nasza-klasa.pl ranks among top five Polish social community networking portals. It is not far behind Google.pl, Onet.pl and Wirtualna Polska (.pl), and followed by Allegro.pl - the biggest Polish Internet auction service. Launched in November 2006, the service has 13.5 million registered users. It is owned by Forticom (70%) and Polish Nasza-Klasa Sp.z.o.o. (30%), the founding company of Nasza-Klasa.

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.

History
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. In mid 2006, these four students of Wroclaw University of Technology and University of Economics (Poland) devised and implemented a simple social networking portal Nasza Klasa, addressed to members of present and past schooling and university communities. There was a substantial increase in the number of registered users, mainly from Wrocław and the Lower Silesia region.
