Seems we're not so far behind our GenX friends and family after all, logging on to our computers at about an equal rate. The differences, though, lie in what we're doing on the internet. Mostly, we're seeking out information, the majority of it health-related, using email, and, naturally, doing a bit of shopping. We're not, however, using our computers for social networking; only a third of us visit online communities and a tiny 10 percent have blogs! That's supposedly going to change, though, as more of us become "empty nesters" and look to connect with peers through new avenues. At matureresources.org, Rosemary Horner explains one reason why Boomers aren't blogging: they feel it's for "young folks." At her website, bloggingforboomers.com, Horner offers tons of tips and techniques for wanna-be boomer bloggers including a "crash course." Even though a lot of her content seems to be focused on generating traffic to your blog (nothing wrong with that) she has some interesting tips to share. Check it out and send me the link to your blog!
