Yes, there are a number of users of this site that are not twentysomethings. I hope to keep their interests relavent and in the mix. Social Networking is hottest buzz word in my web dev world right now. How many social networks can a person be involved with anyway? Even though Miami Art Exchange has a Myspace, Facebook is not on my list as of today but, that may change soon. Older internet users would seem to be dismissed because so many older citizens are very vocal about not being comfortable using computers. However, not all are that way. For instance, my father, now 84 yrs. old, was the first of all my family to talk to me using a chat module I had installed on an early web site I built. He has no fear regarding the internet. Even though that may not be the case in general of people his age, there are a significant number of older citizens that do use the internet. I can also cite a neighbor that lived across the street from us (we met in 1957 and I’m still in touch with via regular emails). So, fear not my fellow geezers, give us old folks something. ;-)

Over-50 Web Users Hit Big Numbers: “People over 50 account for 30 percent of internet usage, a British market study reveals. That’s more than previously believed, and it points to a niche for social-networking sites serving an older demographic.
