This facet of FB use (reconnecting with long-lost friends) is always brought up by the faithful in any discussion of the site's usefulness. This seems a bit overblown to me. Since the advent of e-mail, I've hooked up with quite a few people from my past, and at first, it's interesting to see how their lives have turned out. But after sharing some photos and telling your own life story, there's not too much more to it. After the initial flurry of exchanges, most have once again faded back into the past. I don't have the time, or the interest, in keeping up with the goings-on of people I haven't seen in 20 years...unless I'm trying to sell them something.
