Finding People and Numbers on FaceBook
For the longest time, only those in high school or college where aware of or used the social networking site FaceBook.
This was because it was set up for students only, with the obvious benefit in mind.
Those with a school based web email address could sign up, but no one else could do so.
That has changed in recent years, making Facebook one of the most popular social networking sites online.
This is a great place to search out the phone number of an old friend.
Though there are many that prefer FaceBook, some who are use to the simplicity of navigation on MySpace might find it hard to get around at first.
Facebook is much the same in theory, but a different site all together.
You may have a harder time learning, but you will love the features once you start.
That is why many stay, and why there is a good chance your old friend may be there.
If you knew them in college, all the better.
FaceBook, like many other large sites where people gather, has some great search functions that you can use to find anyone who has an account with them.
You can use your friend's name to see what happens when you search.
A common name is going to bring up quite a few results, so prepare yourself for that.
If the results come up with photos, you may be able to find your friend much more easily if their appearance has not drastically changed.
You can also find old classmates by getting your own profile through Facebook and adding your school to your information.
You will be connected with your school network and you can see if your friend has a profile.
They may or may not have listed a phone number.
You can still contact them this way, and if you prefer phone to email, you can just ask them to give it to you.
Don't forget to narrow results by occupation, company, or search email addresses if you have one.
All of those things can help.
Though Facebook can be a good way to find a number, you won't know what to search if you have a number with no name.
In that case, look for a reverse lookup that gives you access to tools that can search a phone number for you.
Who knows? You may find an old number for your friend is still active.
