in What Do Boomers Know About Social Networks? on Social Times
hi - Much to my dismay, I'm technically categorized as a boomer (born 1957) although I don't consider myself one. I was too young when the whole hippie thing was going on.

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what you learned at the summit. For what it's worth, every boomer I know is online and almost everyone is involved in social media in some way. We read blogs, sometimes comment on them and a few of us write them. We all use Facebook (but generally not MySpace) and LinkedIn, and some people are really, really active. If you count YouTube as social media, even my 77-year-old mother is a regular user (although she doesn't comment or post her own). The techies I know all use Technorati, Digg, etc., but I don't -- I'm not really the target audience. I personally am a big user and sometime contributor to things like Wikipedia, TripAdvisor, etc.

Anyway, interesting to hear your point of view. I enjoy the blog.
