My impressions that USA.Life is not a particularly user-friendly social media platform (SMP) is still true to a certain extent. But I am learning my way around a little bit on my own, and that helps.
I've found a few friends on here that were friends on Fakebook. (Well, actually, they were friends long before the virtual world of SMPs.) I've made friend requests, I guess now I'll see how often they use this platform.
