From a recent commenter to the Classmates.com thread:
If you really want to get in touch with people, sign up for a facebook account

So I did. Hmmm, not a lot of names I recognize. I realize I was in a big high school class (950 or so, I think) but still . . .
I had planned to be the last person on Facebook, but curiosity got the better of me.
Apparently there are a lot of people I know on Facebook, including lots of family members, so I will eventually (soon?) give in to the pressure to join. But, man, there had better not be any more new social networks for a long time! It started with AIM, Yahoo IM, and whatever the Microsoft login is called, then came Friendster, MySpace, LinkedIn, Facebook, sigh… Oh, and there’s Google. Not to mention a YouTube login in order to comment, there. I’m resisting on Twitter, but how long can I hold out?
