Most of the people who ever meant anything to me are dead, so I'm not really looking for my best friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin's tattoo guy...but I can see how it could be helpful to others... I did say there are a handful of exceptions for me. However, overall I do not like the site at all. I also despise the fact that if someone is on your friend list you are forced to read their brain droppings. Do I care that my cousin I have not seen in 20 years is going to meet a friend for drinks after he goes grocery shopping? Seems almost as inane as twitter. Not quite though... i freaking love twitter. its because my brain moves too fast and random. so its perfect for me. |

There are filters you can set up, so you don't have to see updates for certain people. No one is forced to do anything. |

I'm going to have to give it a trial run.

I am on facebook, though i rarely log on, and i have set filters to make it so that nobody can find me through any searches. I have no interest in random people from my past finding me. If there is anyone i want to talk to i will look for them.

People I care about I do not need the internet to keep in touch with, the rest that I have left over the years was for a reason and I prefer to stay away for those personal reasons, if your out of the loop you stay out.
I only use internet to meet new people not to find old ones I had already left. |

I've heard people saying that it is great that you can find individuals that you've not seen or heard from in decades. People have found me on facebook after not being in touch for 20 and in some cases 30+ years. Why? If we had been friends or gotten along so well 30 years ago I'd have stayed in touch, no? The main reason (there might be a handful of exceptions) I fell out of touch with these people is because we were not all that close and did not get along that great. So why is it so cool that they found me?  IMO Facebook is highly overrated. I agree but I have a facebook page anyway because my friends and family guilt tripped me into it. |

i'm not really big on the whole reconnecting thing but sometimes it makes sense. for instance, i had 2 friends in college (a married couple) who went to teach in various rural parts of asia. VERY hard to stay in touch. now that they're back in the states we've started talking more and might even start hanging out again since houston is only about 300 miles away.
in a few cases, ex girflriends have found me (and i thought...OH CRAP  ) and things that seemed like a big deal 10 years ago seem ridiculous now and there's no reason we can't be friends.

If there is anyone i want to talk to i will look for them. I've been trying to find you, but every time I search for Dan UK 99 I get UFC 99 Dan Hardy vs Marcus davis. |

While it might be nice to trip down memory lane with a few people I have no desire to hear from every past person in my life either.
I have lived all over and coped with all kinds of people in a multitude of situations. Some that were a lot of fun and some well; were not. Even if you are considerate and respectful to people does not mean you always want to Ever see them again. I am not saying it is the only way but my family relations are private. Period. Their trust, saftey, and privacy mean everything to me. While I can't control their actions I would not dream of putting information that could lead to their identity being known without their express permission, or otherwise being harmed. Also when you work with the public, especially in something as intimate to them as client services relationships you want to be strictly professional can be intrusive, even unsafe if they just pop into your life or your extended family & friends circle uninvited. Maybe I miss the concept or perks of some of the sites but mass communication just doesn't sound all that appealing. |

Huh. Apparently I'm one of the few who enjoys getting in touch with old friends. There have been two recently that I found on facebook that I was very happy to reconnect with. We were friends quite a while ago and just drifted apart at some point, which people do sometimes. Now we've been catching up and making plans to see each other again. Definitely not a bad thing.

It has its pluses and minuses. On the plus side I keep in touch with family that, for whatever reason, I don't normally keep in touch with. However I'm forever bewildered by friend requests from people I hardly knew and was not friends with in high school. |

I don't use it to meet new people at all, though. |
