Social Networking

I decided to get on to Facebook and see what the fuss was about and managed to find some old friends from England. This was a surprise given that I had left my contact details on School Friends (also linked to the UK Site) and had received no contact at all from anybody. Given that I am being entirely cheap and refused to pay the $5 or $10 registration to be able to send emails to the people I wanted to I did manage to slip my email address into the visible portion of my profile.
So signing up on Facebook, the first thing I did was search for people from Carres Grammar School. Going through the names I see quite a few names that are very familiar. In the end I haven’t managed to track down Clive (a friend from before Carres, whom I found on SchoolFriends) but I am getting closer. I think I may have found his cousin, and will wait to find out. Social Networking has become very good at tracking people down. The world, today, seems just that much smaller.
