Web 2.0 reaches the silver surfers

Monday, January 12th, 2009

There has been a lot of  talk regarding the future of 2009 over the Christmas and New Year period.

I read an interesting ‘predictions’ article today and include the link below. Even though it starts with the number one prediction that ‘Social Media continues its rapid growth’ (!) it is worth a read.

One of the interesting web trends – increasingly so over the Christmas period – is how many silver surfers are not just going online but also how many are joining communities such as Facebook.

Why? Well because their lovely grandkids live their lives out in public on Facebook and gran can finally see all their lovely photos and friends (well, let’s hope so!). They can ping each other and stay in daily touch so they all feel part of the family. Soon, no doubt there will be new Twitterings up and down the country. “I’m in Aldi, great offer on olive oil today” etc.

So to the rest of the trends:
