Lost at classmates.com

So I got an email from classmates.com, a service I don't even remember signing up for. It's basically a pay-to-play reunion information website. You sign up (It's free at first) and add information about where you grew up and what schools you went to and you can look for other people from you past. But if you want to do anything neat like read the profiles of people you knew in high school, you have to pay around $5 a month. Not happening. $5 to find out someone you barely knew in HS has a cat? Yay. Wow. Someone get me some popcorn, this is riveting.

The email I got said that 7 people have viewed my profile in the 2.5 years it's been in existence. So I thought it'd be fun to go in and add all kinds of info to my profile in case someone looks again. Up to a point it's all free anyway, and out of the 100+ people in my graduating class who are signed up at this scam, I'm now the only one who has a photo on my profile. But there are other sites like this so I'm sure information is spread around the net like so much butter.

Not a whole lot else going on.... Maybe I should finish my website!
