According to the post from Switched YES YOU CAN! This post shares five stories of folks who, unfortunately, had bad experiances with Facebook.
It is wise to pay attention to the lessons from this story. However, don’t run away from social networking. We can embrace it as long as we do it right. Well, at least that’s my opinion. What do you think?

Just finished reading this excellent post on Facebook Tips from a news feed on AOL. Most of the tips relate to social aspects of the site. Duh, it is a social networking platform. But I was most impressed with the fact that you can set up a webpage on Facebook!
They also share the applications that you should or should not download. I am still not excited about posting on folks walls but that’s probably why I never became an Artist. But my husband wrote on the walls a lot when he was young. And yes, he is an Artist.
Ok, enough ramble check out the Facebook Tips.

Baby Boomers are used to face-to-face social networking. The advent of oneline networking should not push away or put down the old-fashioned “getting to know you opportunities.
This site, Boomer Parties, is an attempt to increase the connections folks can make with each other, perhaps, after they meet online. It provides resources for folks who want to network in New York City.
This is also a site that I would not use. 30 years of marriage to the same boomer cuts out my social networking as a single.
The ABOUT US page says the following:
BOOMER PARTIES INC. was created to fill a much needed outlet in New York City for
fun social networking, entertainment and nightlife events for Single Baby Boomers.
Our mission is to bring age-appropriate Baby Boomers Singles together to meet for fun,
for romance and to make new friends while having fun doing it!
Our events include singles cocktail parties, after work get-togethers, weekend parties,
social networking events, dances at upscale clubs, dining-out events, charity events
and mix and mingle type of events in a comfortable age-appropriate environment!
So give a visit to the site. I found out about it when someone from the site posted a comment on my bloggingforboomers site. If anyone else has some experiance with it please give a review.
Thanks
