Hi “i ” Boomers 🙂

I discovered some useful, and relatively easy to use, iapps this week which i am eager to tell you about.  These apps allow iphone, ipod touch, and ipad users to send email using Distribution lists. Distribution lists allow you to send email to multiple recipients at one time.

The first app i tried on my iphone.

Mail2Group – this app has two versions. 

  1. Mail2Group lite is free, and supports up to 3 email addresses per group.

  2. Mail2Group (regular) supports unlimited email address and cost $1.99.

The second distribution list app i loaded on my ipad

iEDL (name of app)

You can purchase the app for 1.99 (and it’s worth every penny)!

Hi Boomers,

As i was wandering about on the Internet, i came across the following explanation i thought would be useful as you ponder why one should join in with the current cyber happenings on our Planet :).   I hope that these little excerpts will convince you to join me on Twitter.  Come on, don’t be a ‘ cyber-wallflower’.   Join in,  and get to know what others are thinking about on the Planet! 

It’s cybertravel time !  🙂

What is Social Networking?

Social Networking Explained From Daniel Nations,
former About.com Guide

  • Social Networking has become very popular during the past few years, but it can still be very difficult to understand for someone new to social networking. The open-ended nature of social networks add to this. Once signed onto a social network, having answered a few basic profile questions, it is easy to sit back and wonder what you are supposed to do next.
  • The easiest way to understand social networking is to think of it like high school. You had friends in school, and you knew quite a few people even if you weren’t friends with all of them, but it’s likely that you didn’t know everyone.
  • If you ever moved to a new school — or if you can imagine moving to a new school — you start out with no friends. After attending classes, you start meeting people, and as you meet them, you begin associating with those that have similar interests.

Do you need more convincing?

Stay tuned!
This discussion will go on!  In the meanwhile, have you figured out your Twitter ID yet ? 🙂

Hi Boomers,

Have you joined in  or become acquainted with some of the latest Social Networking tools?  Did you join Twitter yet, are you familiar with the terminology being used out there?  Well it’s time to ‘get busy’ ! 

I recently read an article posted at CNN.com indicating the following:
‘Next, the boomer generation will change the way we think about retirement and aging, experts and analysts say, just as they transformed notions of relationships — delayed marriages, fewer children, more divorces — and ideas about careers, with more women in the workplace and adult learning…‘

The article goes on to say:
“Boomers are all about exploration and transformation.  Many of them reject the idea of retirement that they saw firsthand with their parents, where you stop changing and growing and become a fixed entity,” said Ann Clurman of  The Futures Company, which tracks consumer attitudes that forecast lifestyle and behaviors,  and author of “Generation Ageless:  How Baby Boomers Are Changing the Way We Live Today.”

Then think about what your Twitter ID is going to be 🙂 !
