Yesterday I was thinking of old friends that I have lost touch with over the years. I managed to find a friend that I knew in Cairns when I was 21 years old. He comes from Melbourne and now lives close to Brisbane. I like Face Book for letting me get back in contact with old friends. Have you found any old friends on Face Book from years ago? Are there any old friends that you haven't been able to contact yet?

Hello maximax. I think the oldest contacts that I found were from junior high school so that would be for me about 10 years or so. Yes there were quite a few that did not have a facebook account at all so I don't really know anything about them.

Hi! Yeah, facebook have really let many people meet their friend who have lost contact for years. I have also meet back few friend who have lost contact since primary school. I have also heard news that some one have found their daughter who their parents lost her when she was 5 years old. So, I think the invention of Facebook is really something very good and meaningful.

I have many good friends whom I have never met for years. Most of them are classmates during primary and secondary schools. I miss them a lot. I was really excited and happy I had met one along the park path while having morning brisk walk in a sunny morning. He recognized me first for my partner and I were both indulging in our joyous chatting Of course we had a pause and chat in great pleasant. From the chat I had learned lots about other friends recent situation

I have found several friends and old classmates in Facebook, which I have had no communication with for a very long time and although we haven't really meet up yet, it just feels good to catch up with most of them.

This year, I've been in contact with all my classmates from gradeschool! With the help of facebook, I've discovered that there is actually a group page for us. I was one of the last people to join in. It's great reminiscing with old friends. And they've even shared some pictures of us when we were 7 or 8 years old. It was funny how we looked back then, specially me!
