It’s amazing how many people you can actually get in contact with on social networking sites, such as facebook. Years ago I was pretty impressed by the likes of friends reunited. That particular site seems to have died off now. This was again proven to me yesterday, when I managed to get in contact with another person, Laura, who I went to primary school with. Someone who I thought I would never talk to again, after I moved away from London about 10 years ago.
As per any site, you get people who just add you to bump up their numbers, but I have always been a bit of a prood, and will only add someone if I actually know them. So was a bit amazed when I checked this morning, and it says I know 397 people. If I had to guess, I wouldn’t have said I knew that many people.
An interesting application on there is the ‘Friend Wheel’ which shows you who you know, and then if the people you know, who knows each other. It is actually quite scary, how people from totally different parts of my life know each other. Below is my wheel (click to get in a new window)
If you do actually know me, and I have missed you, feel free to get in contact my facebook profile.
