Something that I’ve wondered about is whether or not anyone has ever been reconnected to old friends through blogging.
Personally, it hasn’t happened to me yet. I’m a little surprised, though. I keep half-expecting to get an e-mail from someone that says: “are you the Laura Spencer that I knew at XYZ college?” Or, “are you the same person that I worked with at ABC company?”
On the one hand, you’d think that this would happen all the time. On the other hand, my blog probably doesn’t really have that much reach.
However, I’m curious as to whether or not this has happened to any of my readers.
Has it? Has someone that you’ve lost touch with contacted you through your blog?

This has not happened to me either, but I have had lost friends find me on Facebook.

Thanks Renae!
That’s interesting. Doesn’t Facebook offer a tool for that very purpose?

Not happened to me either. But then again, having been incredibly self-centered during my school days means I don’t remember many of them either!
Hopefully I’ve grown a bit since then… :-\

Well, I would remember if I looked in my year book…

Surprisingly, I haven’t reconnected with long lost friends since I started to become very active online three years ago. They are certainly out there, but we haven’t crossed paths yet.

Matt,
It could be that fewer people are online than we imagine. Just because I have become very active in blogging doesn’t mean all of my old friends followed the same path…

Nope… I don’t have such luck either.

Hi Vivienne!
It’s interesting to me, though, that not a single person has contacted me as a result of my blogs.
