Going Strong: Social Seniors

 

Social networking websites provide “virtual communities” for people interested in various topics, “hanging out,” or even doing business.  Members create their own online "profile" with biographical data, pictures, interests and other information they would like to share. They communicate with each other by voice, chat, instant message, videoconference and blogs.


This page lists some of the more popular social networking sites, and those that have sections specifically dedicated to senior citizens.  We do not evaluate or endorse any of these sites, but just provide them for your information.


Finally, don’t forget to check for local senior citizen clubs, senior citizens programs, or other senior citizens organizations!  Most towns have at least one!
