Blogs as a Way to Find People from Your Past

So a funny thing happened today...  A while back, I posted an IM conversation that Brian and I had about people from Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Well, some of the people we mentioned were Googling themselves or other people on the list and found my site.  All of the sudden, four people I went to elementary school with and probably haven't spoken to in between 5-15 years commented on the page, adding more names on the list.  Quite a blast from the past. 

I think its an interesting way to find people.  Just blog a list of people you'd like to get in touch with.  I think everyone Googles themselves at least once in a while.  I'll bet that before you know it, these people will find your "People I'd like to get in touch with" list.  Classmates.com...   so much for your business model.

For almost 20 years, I had little to no contact with the kids I hung out with in high school. I went to MIT and many of them didn't even go to college. It was a case of I went one way, they went another.

A funny thing has happened with my blog. About 10-20 of them reguarly read and comment on my blog. And email me. And I email back.

You are dead right about blogs connecting you to your past.
