Notions of a Texas Ranch Girl

Classmates vs Facebook

Posted in Seriously

Again this morning I got a email from Classmates.com that someone signed my guestbook.   Yes, I do have a profile on classmates, but I also refuse to pay to be able to communicate with others and see a full profile.   So even though 21 people have signed my guestbook, they will forever remain a mystery to me.

 

However, I recently discovered facebook.com and am having a blast getting in touch with college friends (about 50 so far), friends I grew up with from church, and even a high school friend that moved away in high school whom I hadn't heard from since.    Its free, you only add friends who you want to be friends with (I personally have a policy that I only add friends whom I know in real life).   You can add photos, etc. etc.   Its also private, so although I do have my full name on there, you'd have to know me in real life to find me.   And I can set my settings so that only those who are freinds can see photos, or my profile, etc.

 

I haven't really checked out myspace, and perhaps its similar, but facebook has much more of a professional feel about, it in my opinion.

 

So check it out, and if you know me in real life, look me up, and we'll be friends!  :)

I get those emails from Classmates too, and like you, refuse to pay to be able to see them! I don't like that you can put up a profile but have no way of getting in touch with anyone unless you pay.
I'm on Facebook too but haven't done anything with it. I mostly signed up so I could see my friends' pages.
I don't like MySpace at all. :oP
Love, Alyssa

Do you have four boys too? I just found this site tonight and set up a profile. I do not know much about blogging, but I started homeschooling my four boys this year and I was looking for somekind of connection to other homeschoolers. I live in a small community too, but unfortunately we don't have too many homeschoolers. Hopefully I can figure this site out and use it as a way to glean from others. :)
It is nice to find another mom blessed with four boys! You probably get some of the same comments as we do ("are they all yours," "are you still trying for a girl") I am thinking of just typing up a paper and passing it out while we are out so I don't have to keep answering the same questions. :)
