Classmates: A Popular Social Networking Website
from: Glenn CutforthHave you ever wondered whatever happened to your high school sweetheart? How about your best friend who you lost contact with overtime? If you've there is a good chance that you've tried to contact them. Unfortunately, many people get married or move away. This may make it difficult to contact those that you used to know. That is, unless you join one of the most popular online social networking websites. That website is known as Classmates.
Although classmates is considered a social networking website, it is, in a way, unique from most of the others. This is because classmates focuses on connections that were made in school, whether it be elementary school, high school, or college. Although you're encouraged to contact those you knew from school, you're able to contact just about anyone on the website. That is one of the many features of Classmates that makes the social networking site worth joining.
The only problem many internet users have with Classmates is that it often requires a paid membership. There's a free membership plan available, but you're limited with what you can do on the site. Despite this, once you've become a paid member to enjoy what Classmates has to offer, it's well worth it. In addition, the membership fee is easy to afford. Currently, there are three different levels of membership you can sign up for, the highest is only five dollars a month.
If you're interested in seeing what Classmates has to offer, you can easily do so by visiting their online website at www.classmates.com. Once at their main page, you'll have to go through the process of selecting your school. Once that has been done, you'll then need to create a user profile. This profile is part of what will be displayed on the website; however, once you officially become a member you can add more information to your profile.
With a free membership, you can post your own profile and view profiles from other members. Viewing the profiles of other members, especially those that you went to school with, is easy. Classmates has separated everyone into categories. These categories not only include the schools that everyone went to, but the years that they attended. This means that whether you graduated in 1970 or 2000, you should easily be able to obtain information on your classmates.
Although you can view other member profiles with a free membership, you cannot contact them. To make contact with those you've lost touch with, you'll need to become a paying member. As previously mentioned, this membership is relatively easy to afford. Once you're a paid member, you can, not only contact your classmates individually, but you can also send out broadcast messages or announcements to everyone you went to school with. A paid membership also gives you the ability to use the message boards.
By joining Classmates, you'll be able to make contact with your old classmates and friends, as well as you may even be able to renew old friendships or make new ones. Reconnecting with your old friends and making new ones, wouldn't that be fun?
