Have you used facebook and other social sites to find peeple from your past?

I used MySpace occasionally for a couple years. Then one day out of the blue I got a friend request from someone I had not seen since my junior year of High School. I was excited to see them, all grown up and so different. We ended up messaging eachother back and forth several times, then we exchanged phone numbers. We talked on the phone for about 4 hours before I realized I needed to make dinner. Since then we chat about once a week via phone and talk about our kids and plights in life. We are closer now than we were in High School. Its so great. After his cheerful reunion I decided to go look other people I knew from High School on there, and ended upadding nearly 30 more to my friends list. Most of them chit chat with me a few times a month, and its nice to share stories of how our lives have changed over the years. Where I live there are not many people to hang out with, so now I have online buddies, and look forwad to gaining more. I even have a friend I met through myspace. We have not yet met in person, but we have been close friends for nearly 3 years now. We randomly added eachother due to a similarity in musical taste. It grew from there. Now we are as close as sisters. We even send eachother birthday and christmas gifts, to eachother and to our children. I am looking forward to meeing her, we will be meeting at Disney World this Summer.

Yes, actually I do. I use facebook as well as myspace. Though more myspace than facebook as I became a member a few years ago (and before mylot), whereas I only became a member of facebook sometime last year. I was able to find a few old friends/classmates as well as some family members on these sites. But I haven't really been into it like I used to be once I found mylot. I still have both profiles up though so friends and family can find me on either if they wish to do so.

For social networking sites I'm active with friendster. I do search people whom I got acquianted with. As for facebook, since im still new with I just let people search me. Im still not familiar with facebook. I also have multiply site which I registered to sell stuff.

Nope I haven't used a social networking site to find anyone, in fact this is the only semi social site, Iv ever really been on besides yuwie, but I dont hangout on sites like these to find anyone, I mostly hangout on these two sites to have fun chat, and earn a little extra cash.

Hi, I use facebook. I have got in contact with old school friends, old work friends and even family members. I used to be addicted especially when it had the old profile layout. I like the chat feature and chat to my friends on there. I haven't been on it much lately as I like to use my time making money online. I have joined a social networking website that pays which is great as you get money for commenting on friends profiles, adding photos, videos and blog's. You also get money for commenting on blog's etc.

I use Friendster to find my past friends or to find new friends. I've registered an account in Faceboot but I still don't understand with FB so I still using Friendster. I always trying acces Friendster when i'm have a connection to the internet, so my activity on Friendster just depend on my connection, and it's seldom because here's still expensive to have a connection to the internet.

i have and i found a buddy that i grew up with and went to his wedding. of course, i grew up too, got married and went my seperate ways. he was on someone elses facebook, so i added him to mine. it was nice catching up!

Yes, I most definatly have used facebook to find people from my past! For three years, from 1998 to 2001, I used to live in Alberta (a province of Canada) which is about 2000 miles/2800? kilometres from when I live today. Through facebook, I have been able to get in touch with a few of my best friends I used to have over there! :) As for myspace, I dont really remember. I still go on myspace sometimes, but mostly to check out bands and that kind of a thing. I first started myspace in the earlier half of 2005 (May I think) but since about mid 2007, everyone in my school went to facebook and uses it much more. I was skeptical to join facebook, in 2007, but I realized that I would come to enjoy it even more than myspace, as I think its actualy a whole lot more user friendly! Anyways, sorry for boring you but nice discussion!

Yeah I at times used this social networking sites to look for old friends and acquaintances. especially my friends way back when I was in grade school, high school and in college. I also used to know new acquaintances. Though facebook what I am more into is in playing games for I find it really fun and I enjoy playing in the games available in facebook. I rarely log into friendster these days.

Yes, I am using Facebook and it is a great site for finding some old friends and classmates, etc. I really like the format, and the applications are great. I was using MySpace, but they have been in the news so much for crimes and such as child predators, I do not want to be involved with the site.

Yeah, I have used websites like Facebook and MySpace to find people I used to know growing up. And most of the time it was successfull as I've found nearly everyone I have looked for and have ever known. Unfortunately a few of the "encounters" were less than friendly from people I used to be friends with. But that's bad/sad news I'd rather not discuss. But for the most part, most of the people I did used to know were happy to send or accept friend requests.

I just registered with Facebook about a month ago, give or take and I started it because I found someone I knew from school who was on my Myspace had an account on their with a lot of people from our school. I have since found alot of old friends from my old schools and old neighborhood. I also use Myspace but when I started that I had a few friends from my present on their and started looking for people I didnt know first and found a few I already knew so I eventually looked up people from my present and past on both sites.

yes, i am very active in my Facebook and i found my primary school friend whom i lost contact 17 years back! thats the power of facebook and social sites!

That's one of the reasons people join these places.... I love it... Even I can chat with friends that I haven't seen for years. I use Facebook and Hi5 profiles, I'm very active... Upload Pictures videos music... Tag pictures of my friends etc.

I am active in some social networking ites especially Facebook. I have found some old classmates and friends that I lost connection with. Thanks to the new technology

I have used Orkut,. It is the only social networking site that I use. I have also found out some friends with whom I do not have contact. it has worked well.

Yes I have used Facebook to find people from my past and sometimes, unfortunately I find people from my past that I don't want to find...lol!

i used classmates and i was able to hook up with two friends from high school that i had lost touch with and one old boyfriend too. it is a nice way to check in with people and see what they have been up to all these years later. i am not into going to class reunions and such so this is a nice way for me to pick up some old friendships.

I have been using facebook for play online poker game. Somebody had found me through facebook and I have added some old school mates through people I may know tool.

Yes i use facebook,orkut and other community sites to get the missed ones, friends. I got close to my school friends from this sites really this kind of sites works some times, it is helpful for me.
