People that are alive and not hiding behind a fake name makes it a lot more real. My whole family is linked with facebook now. Kinda cool.

I'm one of the baby boomers who have recently become part of Facebook. I'm also a blogger, so I'm a bit more technically involved than many of my peers. Since my Facebook friends span a wide age range, from late teens on up, I would never have realized the demographic trends if you hadn't pointed this out. PS: I'm not on MySpace, and now that I'm aware it has flashy ads, I'm not going there! Interesting post. I’m one of the baby boomers who have recently become part of Facebook.

Facebook is THE perfect way to connect with friends - past and present. Also - thank you for the comments on the blog. Glad you're enjoying it. redkathy - Myspace, like you say, has become thick with ads. This quickly scares away many internet users.

I use both, myspace for keeping up with the teens and facebook for everyone else. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said less flashy ads, straight forward profile, unlike myspace.

Facebook has become a way to keep in nearly daily touch with far-off relatives, build audience for my blog and website, and entertain me continually. Twitter hones my writing skills--uh, important for a writer--with those terse accounts of my daily drama. Great blog, BTW!
