I joined due to “peer pressure”. I looked at several pages, and I DO find the layout confusing, and kind of helter-skelter. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It leaves me unsettled, trying to wade through all the “stuff”.
I also feel that the whole thing is very junior-high-ish. Do you want to be my friend? And why would I want to poke someone. What does that mean? It sounds dirty if you ask me.
Anyway, since I joined, I have had a friend that I worked with about 30 years ago contact me, and I’ve been able to look up several others that I haven’t seen in about as many years. It’s really pretty cool, being able to look up people that you’ve lost track of. Even if I don’t “get” all the blips and blurbs and pokes, I now have a way to reconnect with folks that I long ago lost track of. And that really is cool!
The poking and gift sending is a little silly to me, but it does give people the ability to reconnect. And if there's someone you don't want to reconnect with, well, that's easily taken care of! Glad you're part of the scene, man. Haha.
