Hi5, Orkut, Friendster... remember sixdegrees? There are a jillion websites out there designed to get you reconnected with all your old friends. I tried them all and only found that I became a member and never used them. All I ended up with was extra mail in my inbox and the occasional picture. About a year go Neisan told me to get on Facebook. I was like, no thanks. If it's like Friendster and Orkut and those others, I'm not going to bother.
Now I'm hooked. I log in every day. I put pics and videos there. I look at all my friends and see what their statuses are and their pictures and their pictures of each other and of me. I look at my friends' friends' and see if there's anyone I don't know. I play games like Wiki Races. I join and create groups, serious and stupid.... Dude! I love it.
Small print.... NOT recommended for people who don't have any spare time!
