An Older Demographic’s New Interest In Twitter and Facebook

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Suddenly during the course of the last year or two, it seems like just about everyone’s parents have a social media account.

Not only are they joining the site, but they’re extremely active on it too. Every time I log onto Facebook now, I’m just about sure to see a friend’s parent in my status updates section.

I see this as a great thing. It seems like people are reconnecting with friends from the past who they haven’t been in touch with in years. This is exactly why I love sites like Facebook to begin with, and I’m glad to see that older Internet users are taking advantage of the platform.

I still get a kick out of the fact that parents are uploading photo albums, filling out profiles, and commenting on pictures. Seeing them update their status a few times per day is very amusing to me too.

These are the same people who took years to get acclimated to the web, and it looks like they’re finally taking full advantage of the fact that they no longer need to pick up the phone in order to reach out to someone.

Is this just a passing fad amongst baby boomers or are the Facebook accounts here to stay? While I’m not exactly sure, I can tell you that their use of these services is a true testament to the benefits of social media and I’m really glad to see this.

The irony of this all couldn’t be more obvious. Facebook was intended for college kids, and now some of their parents are using the service more than they are. Maybe their parents will soon jump aboard the craze? Stranger things have happened.

Be on the lookout for active parents on these sites. In less than a year’s time, the landscape has massively changed for the better. Let’s see where things go from here.

In addition to technology, the writer additionally frequently blogs about security blankets for babies and custom fleece throws and blankets.

Ryan Deiss And Social Media Money System

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I recently purchased a course from Ryan Deiss called continuity blueprint. It was done in a large product launch sales process that was very well played out. I really liked the way Ryan Deiss broke the business of building a continuity program or otherwise called a membership down to a simple format and step by step process.

I got Ryan Deiss’s course and ripped through it in one day. I then began to build my continuity business following the techniques that Ryan Deiss taught in the continuity course, at first I thought I was wasting my time but I soon realized that what Ryan said was absolutely true.

I worked hard and after eight months into my new online venture I have built a continuity program (membership site) with over 300 paying members. They are each paying either $10 or $29.97 a month.

In short I think Ryan Diess is the man, and his courses work. I was blown away by how easy it was to really build a reoccurring income stream online.

Perry Belcher and Ryan Diess have just launched a new program called “The Social Media Money System” I personally cant wait to get my copy. I have been trying to crack the social media code for a while now and have had absolutely no luck.

When I get the Social Media Money System I am going to consume it just like I did with Ryan’s continuatiy blueprint because I know that everything that Ryan is involved it is absolutely top notch.
