Speaking with a former student, last month, she mentioned that it has been like pulling teeth to get her old classmates to attend their 10-year reunion.  Why bother when you already know what everyone's up to, and can so easily connect with the people you wish to see through social networking sites?

But for older generations, Facebook has helped find missing classmates and drive interest in reunion. Patti Salvage, a friend who is organizing her 45-year reunion in Birmingham, Ala., said reconnecting on Facebook has made her feel close to old classmates again. Because of getting a network of old school friends back together, she is now really looking forward to seeing some of them.

What's your opinion?
