Silver Surfers Flocking to Social Media in Record Numbers

"Social Networking site usage grew 88% among ‘Silver Surfing’ Internet Users between April 2009 and May 2010, according to a new study from the Pew Internet & American Life. Silver Surfers, or people over the age of 55, have been joining the social scene at the fastest pace, faster than the teenage/college age bracket. People aged 65 and older joined social networking sites at an increase of 100% compared to the same time frame."
