MySpace for Grown Ups

When most people think of MySpace they often think of teens and online predators. However, MySpace is so much more than that. MySpace is not just a social networking site for teens, many adults have MySpace pages. MySpace is a powerful tool for promoting your business or website, it can be used for dating and it has reunited old classmates and friends all for free.

Reunited
Prior to the popularity of MySpace many people waited for reunions or paid for subscriptions to online reunion sites when they desired getting in touch with old friends and classmates. MySpace has given people the opportunity to search and instantly reconnect with old friends and acquaintances. MySpace even has schools, companies and other affiliated groups organized into sections where they have individual pages. When you sign up for MySpace you have the option to add your name and information to any of the schools, companies or groups that have a page. This provides an easy way for you to get in touch with people you are looking for, because each page has a searchable database of members. About a year and a half ago I created a MySpace page out of curiosity. I wanted to see what all the buzz was about and hoped that maybe I would make new friends or run into some old friends. Well, that expectation was met. A month after I joined MySpace the mother of my childhood best friend that I had lost touch with for about ten years contacted me. We had been friends from age seven to age nineteen and then just completely lost track of each other. I had always missed her terribly and I looked for her and was never be able to find her until I joined MySpace and her mom found me. Now, my friend and fellow Associated Content Producer Lisa S have been inseparable ever since. We talk everyday and I honestly can't imagine what I have done without her all these years. Additionally, I have got in touch with several other old friends and acquaintances that I now keep regular contact with.
