Social Networking

[rhu]

So, in preparation for my upcoming birthday, I've been madly scanning in lots of old photos. (And thanks to oma_greene for scanning lots of older pictures that she and Dad have!) And I've been uploading some of them to Facebook as I go.

And the amazing thing is that when I tag one or two people in a group shot from high school, it snowballs --- they tag others, and suggest friending them, and literally within an hour I have reconnected with two or three people I haven't spoken to since graduation.

These reconnections are a wonderful birthday present in themselves, and provide an immediate payoff to this project of revisiting my past.

(And all my photo albums are public, so if you're curious about what I looked like as a kid, just visit my Facebook profile.)

Is there a way to see them without joining?

I had marked them public, so they should just be there if you follow that link and click on "photos".

It says "Sign up for Facebook to connect with Andrew Marc Greene."
