Social Networking for Baby Boomers?

By Blog Bloke August 5th, 2006 | 49 Comments Buzz thisBuzz it Share this on Facebook

EonsThe pigs are chasing the python (nothing personal). There’s money in the “death business”, or so says Monster.com’s founder Jeff Taylor.

Eons is a new social network that targets the freedom 55 50 crowd. It offers social networking, hobbies and interest groups, and even a longevity calculator and obits. Only time will tell if there is enough boomers spending leisure time on their computers for the demographic to work.

Now all they need is to give away free coffee and we’re all set. Sorry… that’s McDonald’s. Then how about a discount at the Happy Acres home for the aged? Basket weaving classes? Cheap coffins anyone? Oh well, just get a blog and get busy.Actress Jane Seymour (age 55) has joined as an advisor and one of her goals is to learn photoshop. To touch up those wrinkles for her portfolio no doubt. Hey Jane! I recommend Photoshop Elements. The learning curve is sooooo much easier and won’t make you late for your next audition.
