abhiram 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Very limited site ... It's mostly for Americans and maybe a little for some European countries. India isn't included. But, while we're on the subject of meeting old school friends, I could get in touch with my friends through orkut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdhieu84 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Well, I have used several social networking websites, but for me TheFaceBook is the most useful. It has a pretty sophisticated connection settings that allow you to .. connect to many other people. Sounds kinda dumb, but I don't know how to explain it. Unfortunately, it only (or mostly) supports American students. So I can't not connect to my friends in other country. But impressed me the most was the gallery. Basically, if someone on the network has a picture that has you in it. That picture will be automatically in your own gallery. So, it's easy to share pictures. You can find many people who has the same hobbies, movies/music favourites... or even in the same class. I can go on and on with their feature but.. well, just try it.  Other thing, if you are in the facebook and want to add me, feel free, this is my linkage  <a href="/reg/?_fb_noscript=1 me!</a> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would one want to engage in cyber is way beyond me, though - when nothing can be "funner" than real life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abhiram 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 I really don't have much use for this sort of sites. I mean, I am in touch with all of my good friends ... I'm not really that interested in searching for classmates who were with me in the 5th standard . I chat regularly with all of my good friends even now.
