My 17-yr-old daughter was surprised when her 51-yr-old mother got on facebook.  But now her 72-yr-old granny is on FB, too.  Definitely uncool, so she uses it less.  But we don't care because it's easy to catch up with friends from decades ago.  The young will ride the wave of new technology just to be on the cutting edge with their friends.  Older folks just wait to see what works best, then join in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 5:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Young Hipsters Leaving Social Networking Sites, Research Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[If that elderly couple in the picture are 50 years old than I think you need to have a reality check!  I am 50 and that couple looks old enough to be my parents!   The girl in the background looks like she could be their granddaughter...and who cares anyways who's on FB, MS, Twitter, etc???  All are great ways to keep in touch with friends, family, etc...aren't people over 25 allowed to do that?  People over 30? 40? 50? 60?  Why do the very young think everything "BELONGS" to them?  So ridiculous!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 9:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Young Hipsters Leaving Social Networking Sites, Research Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[obviously you've missed the point.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hodgedaddy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 1:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Young Hipsters Leaving Social Networking Sites, Research Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[LOL, I'm in the first class that had facebook, back when it was college only.  Give me like two years and I will fall into that same "old" age bracket.  I will admit, seeing my dad's and grandma's facebook pages is a bit unsettling, but my dad uses it for business networking and my grandma uses it to keep in touch with her huge family.  I am even MORE wierded out to see my middle school brother with a facebook.  When did this become something for little kids?  When did little kids become teenagers?<br><br>I think facebook should have stayed college only and instead made a second facebook for post college people.  That way you could graduate and transfer your profile seamlessly but college kids wouldn't have to worry about employers peeking and it wouldn't become 'uncool'.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dolphinreef4]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 7:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Young Hipsters Leaving Social Networking Sites, Research Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[Amen on that J.

Life hasn't turned out as planned, why depress the whole world tales of losing dead end jobs and failed relationships.  It's easier to be happy for those who are doing well if the details of exactly how well are unknown to me. No reason to broadcast the trivial details of sorting out the wreckage of these past 10 years.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Antigone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 6:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Young Hipsters Leaving Social Networking Sites, Research Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/06/u-k-youngsters-leaving-social-networking-sites-research-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love my Facebook!  It is much more my speed than MySpace. I'm 41 and find it is just so much better...I have a page on both but can't remember the last time I even thought about the MySpace page.  More and more of my friends and co-workers are going to FB as well...as far as Twitter...never even been the the website and not a single person I know is on it... FACEBOOK LOVE!!!!!!!

I'm 50 years old and look nothing like the couple in the picture!  (They look to be in their 70's, at least.  But that is okay too.  My mom is on Facebook too, and she's 71.)  Just about everyone I know who is on Facebook is over 40 though I do know some teenagers, and those in their 20's and 30's on it.   Facebook is fun because you can play games, take silly "quizzes", etc.  Besides talking to your friends.  There's a lot to do on there!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2009 7:55AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
