Hello MYLOTTERS,
It was great day yesterday as i met an old friend on FACEBOOK.It was really pleasing to meet a friend after so long.I wonder if we had no technologies like we have today and could have found people we have left behind in life.
How do you feel when you meet an old friend whom you have not talked for so long?

hi there!
Oh wow that's good, Social sites also have some positive impact just like what happened to you. Also with facebook, I found some of my long lost friends. I was so excited to hear about their stories, or what happened to them, we lost contact after graduating from highschool. Some got married, some are still studying, and some went to abroad for work. It feels good to talk or to see them again. But, some people change. They don't treat you the way they treated you before. That's the sad part. After the long separation, They were able to change and not really give importance to your friendship.

I have met a lot of old friends in Facebook, people I haven't seen for decades. Social networking has really made communication possible and this includes the renewal of friendships more so for those that are in other countries. However, I have not been to much chatting because of the demands of the online jobs. It's fun though when after all the years you suddenly find someone whom you have missed.

Hello Yahnee,
Yes it has become easy for people to meet people which they have left away in lives.It really is a pleasure when we meet someone with whom we were not in touch for a long.It happened with me yesterday the friend which i found yesterday was my school mate and i talked to her at least after 18 years.

I am happy to hear that you got in touch with an old friend on Facebook. It is a great feeling to talk to an old friend again after a long time. Some weeks ago I started looking for some of my old friends on Facebook, and I managed to find some of them. I really enjoyed talking to them again. One of the old friends that I found was my old neighbour from the time the time when I lived in the north of Denmark. We used to be very close friends who were together almost every day, but when we both moved away from the north of Denmark we lost touch. It was a lot of fun to talk to her again on Fscebook and hear what had happened in her life since our last meeting.

I just met my friend after 4 years not seeing each at her wedding last week. Once we graduated, we only talked on the phone a couple of time and never met face to face. She's staying in a different state and both of been busy working. So when she invited me to her wedding, I saw that as a good opportunity to catch up after so long. She haven't changed much and we couldn't sit to talk a lot as she still need to entertain other guests. But it's good to see her again.

Hi brother!
I have to admit even if I don't like facebook so much but it is so convenient to search and find my school and my old friends. It all started a few years ago as one of my friend take an alternatives to find our ex-classmate in elementary schools. It was so good to see them all grown up and some of them have get married and even have kids. That is the only reason why I have an account in facebook. To keep my old friends contacts. (^^)

hello sj,
It feels so good.
I met my old friends since we're 6 yrs old thru facebook.
Now we have a group in facebook (our batch) where we can communicate and update our friends about our life/event and invite for met-ups as well.

Hello Jaiho,
I almost missed everyone but now when i have found one of my friend i am trying to find out some more friends may be i will be able to do so but there are constraints like when someone is not active on these sites.
Its good to know that you too have found your friends through net.Indeed net is the best way to stay connected with people.

Hi sjvg: Wow, it's great that you could have this experience to share with us. When I meet a friend that I haven't seen in a couple of years I generally feel surprised. I am not the kind of guy who takes the initiative but after a few words I will be very interested to know about their lives and what are they doing.
