A little late in the game but I joined Facebook last week. I wanted to see what the buzz was all about… now I wish I had joined it sooner!
Was just amazed to find so many of my childhood and high school friends. In less than a week, I’ve found 20 friends that I’ve lost contact with during the years.
Words can’t even start to describe how I felt when I found a childhood (best) friend from more than 20 years ago. I may have to put that on my list of the top 5 most exciting moments in my life. Rekindling childhood memories and good times like that is priceless. It’s also pretty surreal to see how they’ve all grown up as my only memory of them and how they looked like was when they were teenagers.
With it’s integrated apps and a huge database of people, I see some using it more for business purposes too. For now, I am just content with using it to find my long lost friends and may probably keep it that way. This is because I would rather not have my business contacts dive into my personal life and personal details; there really needs to be a separation there. I also believe LinkedIn is better suited to business networking as it seems more formal.
To say that Facebook is a valuable networking tool is an understatement. I now see why it has a valuation of $15 billion.

I’m on facebook, but I don’t check it often. I only signed up so I could keep up with an online friend who’s in Canada. It’s an alright sight, I find Myspace much easier to use. All in all, both are great social networking tools. :D
