I can understand that up to a certain point. You obviously had no chance to contact your friend and he had more important things to do than to contact you.*
But at a certain point he apparently had time to update or at least check his facebook account. He could as well have used that time to call you or to write you a (e-)mail.

I like discussions (not arguments) and I'm usually very convinced of my own opinion, but in most cases there is more than one way to look at a situation. I don't have to agree with that point of view, but I can still respect it.


*) There are only very few excuses I would accept for that, but taking care for his family and getting his life straight are two of them.

Therefore if you feel the need to find someone from your past via a centralized platform like facebook, there must have been something in the past that made you lose contact, something that made you not to care for keeping contact. This is usually for a good reason. If you later regret it, that reason might have not been so good in the first place. So without facebook and co. people might be more attentive when it comes to making social decisions.

*) If you're old enough to know how to exchange contact information.
Yes, you do lose contact with people. Address books get stolen; personal papers lost. I'm glad your world is so perfect that everything is a choice for you. The other almost 7 billion folks have to struggle with the reality that not everything is on line, on disk or always accessible.

Making (working) backups is not only important in the online world.

I quit Facebook over a year ago, never went back. Never did the MySpace thing, nor EverQuest nor World of Warcraft.

Congrats.

never opened any of those ***** social communities. people should socialize with beer in their hands, or whatever respected drink you prefer.

facebook and all the other *****s are just control mechanisms for masses
