Facebook's kind of an odd place. It started out as a place for networking. And even though I only joined a year or so ago, it still seems like that sort of place. I figured it would be a good place to have my identity online so that if anyone really wanted to reach me, they could.
And I've been looking for people there lately. I checked the people who went to my high school for several years before and after I graduated, and found none. I knew my own class was pretty apathetic, but I figured I'd see somebody I recognized. then I searched the neighboring town, looking for some people I went to church with. Found three. Then I looked for one specific person - a girl I had a crush on. Didn't find her, but I found her mother. Her mother's contacts included her son, and another guy I used to know, and have been wondering about.
But not one of these people had a public profile. I don't think I want to start a conversation with any of them, so I don't want to send a message, but I was hoping for a few general details. Like, "where you at, these days?"
