Hi my fellow mylotters. Do you ever wander what could be your reaction if you see and meet your friends of almost 30 years? I was actually trying to look for these friends and guess what--some I found thru facebook when I put up an account with them. Now I am anticipating the day when we culd get together--and see how they will also react. How about you people?

I found my best friend from high school in Facebook, I haven't seen him in 10 years ever since they moved to another city. Then we agreed to meet up when I had the chance to travel to his current city. It was really nice seeing him again.

Yes, I have found lots of old friends through facebook. I have looked for several different friends from school and found most of them on there. Some of my friends from school are planning to get together sometime soon and go out to dinner and I think that will be lots of fun. It's nice to be able to keep up with them even if I don't have their phone numbers or know exactly where they live now.

You're right, I also found my high school batch in Facebook. It really helps a lot! Even relatives across the seas, they can just upload pictures that we can see directly and comment.

Social networking sites help a lot in bridging distances and reestablishing bonds. It helps me a lot in keeping myself connected with everyone even at the confines of my home.

For me, it's mostly people I haven't seen in 3 years to see how much they have changed as a person. Most of them haven't really much, but if they do then it's really interesting to see how they are. Most people are either nicer, meaner, easier to talk to, harder to talk to. I've made plenty of friends on facebook that I wouldn't have known before. :D

I have found old friends in grade school as well as in highschool. It is really great keeping in touch with them and seeing how they are doing. I think this is the best thing about Facebook. We get the chance to see people that were once dear to us.
Have a great day!

We've actually found a way to have a reunion among elementary batchmates thru facebook. Indeed this site had been a lot of help. Well maybe it's also because of the fact that almost all youngsters have Facebook and so we managed to find each other.
It's not yet 30 years though, just 10 or 12, I guess. The point is, we got something good out of Facebook. :)

Basically same has happened with me I have re connected with old high school friends and we have met after so many years. We now keep in contact and plan dinners and parties together about three times a year.
So that really is all I like facebook for but I have to admit I do not use it much anymore.

I have found some of my college roomies through facebook and until recently I had been out of school since 2000. It is good to know what is going on in their lives. I am in college again. This time it is online though. I missed the "old gang" from college so I am happy to have found them again.

I recently connected with one of my old college friends and it turns out she had been trying to find me too. One day I did a search and there she was! I sent her a friends request, she accepted and recently wrote me. I love facebook!

For me facebook really helps in finding your long lost friend.Actually I already find my friend in elementary and high school.And with the help of this social networking site our group in high school together with some classmate have a reunion last July 24, 2010 but sadly I was not been able to share that precious moment to them because I'm working now in other country. I'm just sharing thought about all the pictures they have in the reunion by using also facebook.But we are planning to have a gathering yearly hopefully in a year to come I can shared my laugh with them.

I can very much relate with this. It was a great feeling that I've seen and even talked with a friend, in fact, my best friend in kindergarten, whom I lost connection since 2nd grade--and haven't seen for like 10 years or so. We just met this year in facebook and it was such an awesome meeting. We had a very long conversation--basically, updating each other about our present lives. 'Twas really really great!
