Want to Connect with Your Old Highschool Friends? Join MySpace

In September I purchased a brand new computer. As soon as it was delivered, out of the box and hooked up, we were online. We had, had a computer before, and were online when we had it, but it was an older computer and slow as a dinosaur so when we got our new one we were amazed at how fast it was. I wanted to see how my old high school friends were, and at the time knew nothing of myspace so I went directly to classmates.com where I had an account before, and signed up for their lowest 3 month plan, found my old friends, emailed them and waited for them to email me back.

Weeks went by before I gave up and decided that they didn't want to have anything to do with me; I mean if they did wouldn't they email my classmates account? Around this same time my husband recorded a song with a hip hop artist named Chris Complete. I had never heard the song and wanted to listen to it. He told me to look it up on Chris's myspace page.

I had heard of myspace, but hadn't checked it out because I thought it was just for teenagers, I mean what do I need a webpage for? Well in order for me to hear his song I had to be a member of myspace. So I filled out their questions, hastily typed a profile and in minutes I was listening to my husbands song. Then I logged off the computer and didn't think about it again until a few days later.

I was going through my email and saw a email with the subject Pacer Bryant would like to be added as one of your friends. What? I had been trying to get a hold of this guy on classmates for years, unsuccessfully I might add and there he was on myspace. I accepted him as a friend the sent him and email with my phone number and we have been in constant contact ever since. In the month to come I would be contacted by several of my high school friends all through myspace. It is the best place to connect, and best of all it is free.

Now I'm not knocking classmates, I can see why some people would rather use it instead of myspace and I appreciate what they and reunion .com are trying to do. There are those of us though who would like to email their friends without having to pay for it. I am also still a member of classmates, but I think now since I have found all of my old friends, I will not be renewing my subscription.

Now I see why everyone had a myspace. It is absolutely free, and you can connect with all of your friends and bands, comedians, actors, musicians, anyone you want. I am still getting friend requests from people I went to school with, and I have made my myspace page totally my own, and change it once a month. I look forward to keeping up with it, and all the friends I reconnect with.
