Social Networking: Does it work?
Posted by Bao Vang on March 10th, 2008
I think that there is the question of if social networking does or does not work. I’m not sure if it works or not, but I do know that I’m glad that there are social networking sites. Early on Sunday morning, I used Facebook to see if some old high school friends has created a profile. Lo and behold, I’ve discovered 2 old high school friends and one of them is working out of the house that I used to live in. She actually works out of my old room. How crazy is that? To find out that 16 years after I left the small town of Houghton, NY, that the old house that I grew up in is still standing and it’s being put to good use!! What makes this story even funnier is that I was playing poker on Facebook and chatted with someone who was going to Houghton College and he was able to tell me that my old house was now the beauty salon. It’s amazing how small the world suddenly became and I truly believe that you can find out anything or get to someone through six degrees of separation.
