How new people are found on Facebook

I don’t really understand Facebook. I just recently signed up for it, and literally within days of signing up, I had people who I hadn’t thought of for *years* send me a friend request. Is there a search function that lets you know if someone with a name you’ve searched in the past has signed up and alerts you, or are people from 20 years ago really searching for me every week and finally happened to get me as I signed up?

There are several ways people you know, even if you have not had contact with them in years and they have no contact info on you, might find you on facebook.
1. People You May Know
2. Suggest Friends for [you]
3. Look at mutual friends walls & see you there
4. You commented a mutual friend’s post/status/link/etc
5. Find classmates from … & Find current or past coworkers »
6. See you in a group, or application, or other thing you have done on Facebook

Then there are a couple ways more ways if someone has your email address or IM names, but this will be long enough with just the “how did you find me” methods.

All of this boils down to a couple things including the more data about you in facebook the more people can find you and the more people you are connected with, the more likely someone is to find you. [Read more]

Stones River Background

On February 7th we went for a little walk along the Stones River Greenway in Murfreesboro, TN during one of the “Indian Summers” we have in Tennessee. It is a period of time where it might be below Zero for months, then a week or two of warmth, then back to cold.

This wonderful warm winter day the high was  in the 70’s, a temperature we desire most of the year where it is normally higher or lower, expect a couple months in the fall, and a month in the spring.

As I walked along I looked for a great place for a new background for this site and came to this area. There was something about the time of the day, the light, and the reflection that  of the threes on this little area that separated the creek and the lagoon area. The actual Stones River is a little ways down river.

It was a great day to just walk and talk. Lots of people were out, many with their dog and taking pictures around the river.
