MySpace and Facebook are great ways to reconnect with lost friends from middle school or friends that you met on a summer vacation. These sites are geared to allow the individual 's personality to come out on the page that they are creating. On each individual 's page, there is a multitude of information that can be learned about the person, such as what music they listen to, whether they enjoy athletics, or even what political party they are affiliated with. You can find email addresses of acquaintances, phone numbers for lost friends, or even mailing addresses for business partners, the options for the different pages are endless. "Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you, and it is made up of many networks, each based around a company, region, high school or college" (Facebook). This makes MySpace and Facebook ideal for learning about people 's interests, and finding out what is important to the individual. The search feature enables the user to find friends
