The One Really Useful Aspect about MySpace

Posted in Social Bookmarking, Social Networks, Web 2.0 by wayne.porter on March 29th, 2007

I am still not a huge fan of MySpace, although I maintain a page out of experimenters habit, but there is absolutely one thing it is great for, truly excels at- reconnections from ages long forgotten. I have had so many people contact me from my old stomping grounds and the distant ages it still surprises me. It usually goes-

“Is this THE Wayne Porter that…” (Insert whatever I did)

“yeah that’s me- e-mail me here” (Insert e-mail)

Really-people from as far back as grade school- you know the people who you stopped thinking about where they might possibly be. At any rate- MySpace has MASS and when that mass starts rolling it will gather alot of moss.

Honestly I get far more “reconnections” even though you can Google me and find me all over the place. Granted I didn’t have grey hair then- still. Interesting.
