[...] Well, we all know where your former classmates are now – on Facebook. And Facebook and Classmates.com just might be the best way to describe Web 2.0 and Web 1.0, respectively. [...]

Seriously, who the hell uses classmates.com anymore? I wretch when I see their ads, and it brings me back to the days of BLINK tags… ugh, sorry, just through up a lil’ bit in my mouth just then..

Although I prefer Face book…one thing I found easier on Classmates was finding old girlfriends who may have married and changed their names.
Classmates list all the names from a particular school in a particular year. Haven’t discovered anything like that on face book as yet.

Facebook appeals to certain people. People might visit the site looking for friends that are members. They do not find certain friends and then see the ad for classmates and then go look for friends there.

Yeah, it is probably handled by some agency. Still…one would think that Classmates.com would identify some targets or something.

Classmates is likely not doing it intentionally, it’s probably handled by some ad agency.

Alternatively, maybe the advertising works because Joe Noob isn’t aware of how "web 2.0" his site is =)
