The facebook page for Scona ‘77 grads is up and to date has 48 members. Its hard to know how many signed up for Facebook to join the page and how many were already there, just waiting to be found.
I’ve changed my tune about facebook from a year ago. Its like any other community: its diverse and you get out of it what you contribute.
This week I observe that for those concerned about their privacy that there really are enough settings to go completely unnoticed. Example 1 is a friend from university I discovered completely by accident while looking for something else. I wrote her a note and she said she was on Facebook solely to join a group. No friends, no Profile. Two weeks later, she’s changed her mind. She’s got friends, she’s creating a page that says something about herself and the stuff around her.
Second. I clicked a button on the Scona page one day last week to discover that one of us is completely anonymous. They are signed up as beloging to the Scona ‘77 page, but they are untraceable. Searching doesn’t turn them up.
So, if you really want to lurk there, it is possible and by all means go ahead and do it.
I’m delighted to observe the connections established between classmates already. The notice of so-and-so is now friends with this-and-that warms the skin.
Carry on.
