Comfort Life News Round-Up: Social Media. Are You Connected?

Over the course of the week, we noticed that social media and its growing usage amongst the retiree and seniors community was a growing theme. Every where we turned, we came across interesting articles on how older adults and seniors were flocking to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as a means to be "Plugged-In" with family, friends and former business collegues.

Is the seniors community the final and last frontier for social media?

Here's what caught our eye this week:

• There is a large growth of seniors now using twitter and other social media.


• Baby Boomers are flocking to Facebook with 47% with active profiles


• Twitter usage rising amongst US adults: PEW Study


• Boomers dominating social media realm

So the question is, are you plugged in?
