Sounds familiar?

Currants Â» MySpace For Baby BoomersI was reading this article about Myspace for babyboomers. It is a website very similar to MySpace but it is for people over the age of 50. Part of the reason they are doing this is to get people over the age of 50 involved in the web. For instance â€œEons (Eons.com) asks people 50 and older to list goals for the rest of their lives and then offers articles, blogs, discussion boards, online tools, as well as advertising and marketing offers related to those desiresâ€
