If there's a redeeming value of social networking, it's sharing photos and news with extended family, who it's hard to reach at one time. It's a bit easier than worrying about file formats with e-mail. But that's it.
Loved your origina post in this thread and agree with it 100%
All told, I attended 3 different highschools and have never been to a single reunion and couldn't be bothered to. I hated most of those schmucks back then and I can't see it having changed any over the years..........lol. I kept in touch with the ones I wanted to (like, 2 people) and the ones I've run into since that I went to highschool with back when convinced me not going to reunions was the smart choice.
I have a facebook account and like you only use it to share photos with family. Considering my immediate family is spread across Canada, it's an easy way to share pic's. I can't think of any other reason to bother. I don't do any of the other 'social networking' sites and never will.
I get a laugh when I hear kids comparing the number of "friends" they have on facebook.........like it actually means something..........which it doesn't. I always ask them, "Big deal, how many friends do you have in real life? That's what actually matters."
Some facebook "friend" you've never met who lives in freaking Guatemala isn't going to come help you when you're on the side of the road with a flat tire.
It matters not how strait the gate,
