Boomer Yearbook is based on the vision that Baby Boomers want to connect and reconnect, but

in our own way and on our own terms. Boomer Yearbook is the social network designed by and

for Baby Boomers, the largest, most successful and most diverse segment of the

population.There are lots of thinks for all, it’s far better social networking then orkut.I

have found great articles on various topics, games, music, health, fashion. Almost

everything for everyone.You can visit http://www.boomeryearbook.com for a test drive.

The great thing about being a Boomer is the insight we have that allows us to develop websites for other Boomers.

I have mixed feelings about the discount thing. On the one hand, I resent being classified as someone who is so old she can’t manage her money and needs the discount so she won’t be forced into “the poor house” or to eat dog food. On the other hand, heck, I’ll take it.

@GenerationXpert, I would expect such a comment from someone outside their domain of expertise. We (as in apparently not you) embrace our age. It’s reflexively equating that age with infirmity, diminished capacity and requiring succor that chaps the hide of most Boomers I know.

However, as our numbers reach critical mass for AARP membership, authors of these derogatory epithets, mostly the advertising community, will be forced to concede that we are well, we are sharp, and…we vote with our cash. Woe to those who continue to call us old.

I think the Boomers are too hung up on age. When you were 29, did you think 55 year olds were “young”? Embrace your age – labels and all.

Technically I’m not a Boomer (missed by one year:), but I’ll offer up a couple of thoughts.

• A senior label is OK if the discount is big enough.

• The nice thing is that even when we’re older than dirt we won’t be termed elderly.

Senior—who cares, but elderly NEVER!
