I checked it out and I can see why. The thing I noticed about it right away is the “no ads” format. I can’t stand all the blinking and craziness of the other boomer sites. Boomers Network is also easy to navigate among other good things.

I read your posting with interest and found the link to The Savvy Boomer a treasure trove on the topic which I am most grateful to you and the author of the other site for the work he has done on this subject.

While others have some doubts about the concept of WEB 2.0 age segmentation with or without certain specific lifestyle and/or affinity focus business models, in my opinion the prospect has considerable merit.

Through others’ trial and error….or trial and success.. I anticipate those entities/teams that:
- tweak the formula and find the right ingredients;

-AND can secure a combination of funding to acquire critical mass;

-AND selected SPONSORSHIP support enhanced eventually with subscription-based and/or advertsing revenue models,

MAY set a new standard in increasing the penetration of the baby boomer target market’s Internet usage patterns. The social, business and cultural benefits for this important demographic group ( I am a member of) are ENORMOUS.

To the victor(s), a lucrative future awaits!

Just one boomer’s opinion.

It’s definitely a wait and see proposition at this point but so far results aren’t promising but it’s still early.
I’ve been following and writing on these sites for a few months now. You can see my posts on it including their traffic stats in the Social Networking category on my blog.
