Facebook

Once you sign up, you will be attracting tons of \"spams\" or rubbish junk emails in your email address. Often times, they also ask you to reveal the list of people you email to, and invite them to your new account, and they would be bombarded with spams as well.

ive noticed with yahoo..blog page that if you join up it also aives access to all the web sites that you have visited...............so i didnt join!!:dry:

I did not join either for similar reasons. Most other similar websites like FaceBook use the same technique. I don't think I like that very much.

I think facebook is good for finding old friends.

I don't think any of my \"old friends\" are in FaceBook, and if they are, most likely they will be incognito just like me.

This is interesting, you dont want to sign up to face book. May I ask why did you signup to AbleHere website?

Because nearly everyone says I am \"disabled\", and I AM receiving benefits from the U.S. government for disability benefits, but nobody says I have a face. Besides, I haven't received one single spam because of having ablehere membership yet. Please don't get me wrong. I have nothing against FaceBook. I think they do service a meaningful purpose, however, I prefer not to join them because I don't think I'd be benefit by being one of their member, and because of the inevitable spam and even possible viruses and spywares.

Yes one of the great things about AbleHere.com is the members cant easily send spam. If the users try sending spam I will ban them

Good. I am glad to hear that. Thanks Karl.

Karl isn't Friends Reunited better for finding old Friends?.

I thought Facebook was more of an socializing website & not for finding old friends, maybe I am wrong.

Who Are Friends Reunited?: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_reunited

Friends Reunited is a portfolio of social networking websites based upon the themes of reunion with former friends, family-history research, dating and job-hunting.

Each site works on the principle of user-generated content by which registered users are able to post information about themselves that can be searched by others.

People can contact each other via a double-blind email system, but only after paying a subscription.

The main Friends Reunited site is concerned with reuniting people who have in common a school, university, address, workplace, sports club or armed service; the sister-site Genes Reunited enables members to pool their family trees and identify common ancestors; the Dating and Jobs sister-sites link members with similar attributes, interests and/or locations.

The website claims 18 million registered users, which it believes equates to \"about half of all UK households with internet access\"[1].

Friends Reunited branding has been attached to CD collections of nostalgic popular music, and television programmes broadcast on the ITV network, which owns the site.

A book of members' stories was published in 2003 by Virgin Books.

Facebook is miles better then friendreunited.

Facebook is free.. I have found loads of old mates on facebook. Very powerful website.
