I have a facebook page, a my space page, a hi-5 page, a linked in page, yada yada yada... I don't go to any of them, but have found that old friends, and business acquaintances have been able to find me.... There are no pictures, no information that is too private, no nothin' yet, they still find you....
Yesterday, I got an email from facebook which was from an old friend that I haven't seen since my childhood camp days in 1978!
SensualGirl: When I was in grade 4 (10 yrs old), my very best friend moved to England. We wrote back and forth for years, but eventually lost track of each other. 30 years later, I went to England and managed to track him down.... luckily he has a very unusual last name. I've only spoken to him once in the last 43 years, but I have found him again....on Facebook. Things like that make it very special.
By the way, you and he could be neighbours.... he lives in your city!
