Older adults are flocking to social networks
By Suzanne Choney
Social networking use by Internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled in the past year, going from 22 percent in April 2009 to 42 percent in May 2010, according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project’s new report, "Older Adults and Social Media."
While 86 percent of younger Internet users (ages 18 to 29) "continue to be the heaviest users”"of social sites like Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn, "over the past year, their growth paled in comparison with the gains made by older users," Pew said.
Between April 2009 and May 2010, Internet users between ages 50 and 64 who said they use a social networking site increased 88 percent, and those ages 65 and older had "100 percent in their adoption of the sites, compared with a growth rate of 13 percent for those ages 18‐29."
Twenty percent of Internet users ages 50 to 64 "say they use social networking sites on a typical day, up from 10 percent one year ago," Pew said.
A year ago, 5 percent of Internet users ages 50 to 64 said they used Twitter or another "status update service," but now 11 percent say they do.
It’s impressive growth, considering younger Internet users have already represented a hefty presence on Facebook and Twitter. On social networking sites like Facebook, 60 percent of those ages 18 to 29 say they use such sites on a "typical day," as do 39 percent of those ages 30 to 49, Pew says.
Status update services like Twitter draw 18 percent of those ages 18 to 29 on a typical day, and 9 percent of those ages 30 to 49.
One of the main reasons for older adults' increased interest and use of social networking sites: They know Facebook and Twitter are where their kids and grandkids are spending time, and it’s a way to "bridge generational gaps," said Mary Madden, Pew senior research specialist and author of the report.
"There are few other spaces — online or offline — where tweens, teens, sandwich generation members, grandparents, friends and neighbors regularly intersect and communicate across the same network," she said.
But it isn’t all about you, lest you think it is. Older social networking users are "much more likely to reconnect with people from their past," Pew said in the report, "and these renewed connections can provide a powerful support network when people near retirement” or “embark on a new career."
In a survey last September, Pew said about half of social networking users ages 50 and older said at some point, they were contacted by someone from their past who found them by using the Internet. And nearly two-thirds said they have searched online for information about someone from their past.
Another reason to seek camaraderie on social networks: health problems. "Older adults are more likely to be living with a chronic disease, and those living with these diseases are more likely to reach out for support online," by blogging about it or taking part in online health discussions, Pew said in its current report.
E-mail does remain "an essential tool" for older Americans’ daily communications, Pew said; 92 percent of those ages 50 to 64, and 89 percent of those ages 65 and older say they send or read e-mail, and more than half of each age group e-mails on a "typical" day.
Checking online news sites daily also is a regular habit for many; 76 percent of Internet users ages 50 to 64 say they check news online, and 42 percent say they do so on a "typical day." Among Internet users 65 and older, 62 percent say they look for news online, and 34 percent do so on a typical day.
Among younger users, 44 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds, and 45 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds say they check online news on a typical day.
Checking online classified ads is still something more widely done by the younger generation, Pew found: 14 percent of those ages 18 to 29, and 13 percent of those ages 30 to 49 say they do so on a typical day, compared to 6 percent of Internet users ages 50 to 64, and 5 percent of those age 65 and older.
Pew surveyed 2,252 adults nationwide via phone between April 29 and May 30. The survey’s margin of error is 2 percent.

Edmonton Sun column Feb 7th
Ever have those times when your brain sends you non stop random unrelated thoughts?
I do!
I can't believe people still use the term "motion picture." Time for Bruce Springsteen to update the song 57 Channels with nothing on. Does it make sense to have Canadian content rules on radio stations anymore? The cell phone/text ban can't happen soon enough for me. Plus there's now more distractions "inside"a car than "outside" the car.
When will we have an alternative political party running in Alberta that truly can bring new ideas and concepts to get the undivided attention of our sagging PC Party? Cell phone and cable/satellite charges in Canada are the most expensive in the world while their profits can only be labelled as "insane." Car prices are actually on a decline - car companies "got" the recession.
If your business doesn't get Twitter you're falling far behind the curve as social media is the fastest growing technology "ever." When was the last time you went to a really really good movie? My daughter Rayanne is struggling with something called Graves Disease which is a very cruel thing to deal with for both her and the family. I wonder if hockey players really know how lucky they are to be blessed with all that talent. The ultimate disrespect for me is people who use the term "my old lady" or "my old man." And please don't spit in public.
Edmonton proudly has a great core group of people who make great things happen in this city and I'm proud to call many of them my friends. Travel is the greatest way to learn how much life is different or the same as ours around the world. The new EReaders have been a huge boon to a great thing called wisdom. Get used to the phrase "on demand" for both sports and entertainment in the coming years.
The Edmonton Airport continues to get better and better all the time but I sure hope they get it finished in my lifetime. Ditto our road system. Modern Family makes me laugh extremely hard each and every week. If this is how far the "new arena" has progressed to this point do you really think it will be done in time before the current lease ends? Would you pay "seat fees" that might be required as a season ticket holder? I have over a thousand Facebook friends but I wonder how many would actually step up for me if I really needed their help some time?
I allready miss Graham Hicks. Told him I was going to start the "Art of Texting" with a room full of people who never speak a word. I'm already excited about what's happening in and around the Edmonton Esks on and off the field. Remember when radio stations had really big fun contests and great prizes? Speaking of missing somebody, this city will be sorry when the amazing Lynda Steele leaves for the coast and I really hope somebody steps in to fill her very large community shoes. Ok I mentioned one daughter so I'd better mention the other so "Hi Lauren."
I just can't see me as a 3D TV kinda guy and I'm getting "more" not "less" dependent on my iPad. I came back for the big chill week from the lovely desert last month and can safely say that Arizonians just wouldn't understand us. After 25 years of marriage jewelry and chocolate still works for women but "trips" are the best.
When do we get those parking meters that take credit cards downtown like Calgary has? There is no greater honor for me than having streets and a building named after my late father Jerry Forbes. If you can't keep up with technology today what do you think tomorrow will be like? Can't wait til next years World Junior Hockey tournament which will be played in our own backyard and I always thought in the good old days of hockey that Jim Playfair "didn't" and Lindy Ruff "wasn't." And if they went for Bob Beers after the game.
Finally, it was a quarter century ago on this very day that I got married on the beach in Maui. Since that day my wife Kim has provided me with much joy, endless support, and two beautiful aforementioned daughters. It seems like a blink in time but today I'm so very proud of what our "family" has given me over that time period. Much love and thanks Kim.

Thought for the day!
The Importance of a Bucket List
If you haven't seen the movie The Bucket list yet you're only a Netflix moment way. Briefly pretending to be a movie critic Jack Nicholson is a crusty old well off senior who is befriended in the hospital by legendary actor Morgan Freeman and they not only talk about the highs and lows of their pasts but their "dreams."
Morgan Freeman persuades Jack to make a list of all the things he wants to do before he passes on (Jack's dying of cancer) and one by one they set out to cross off the dreams on his list.
I firmly believe in a bucket list and having lost several good friends and family members well before their time over the past few years, I know I am going to face the Grim Reaper one day myself so fulfilling this list in the time I have left on this magnificent earth can certainly help fulfill my dreams.
Obviously you'd have to have a Trump sized bank account to do some of the top end dreams but if you only got part way through the list when you're welcomed at the pearly gates you'd probably have some great memories to help fulfill your life.
The most important thing about having a bucket list is to actually write one out as soon as you can and to start working on it "today."
Then get yourself a separate bank account and start plinking some 'mad money' away in this account. Take your empties back; put your income tax refund in it; throw a few bucks from every pay cheque in when you can and you're underway.
Next find a pal (or spouse) who understands the list and hopefully shares some of your dreams. Traveling with "like people" enhances the pleasure significantly.
Then post your list somewhere in the house where it's always visible and use it as a reminder to continue to work on it.
I've been fortunate to have crossed many of my dreams off the list already and I have a few well underway right now. Maybe you'll get an idea or two from mine.
The first thing on my list is something I can't control so I'll reference it a little later.
Other goals are:
1. Go on a motorcycle trip through Europe. It's already booked and next fall I will ride through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and France with some very good pals.
This should be stunning and I've yacked about it for years. The Bucket List made it happen...
2. See the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
3. Hot Air Balloon World Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
4. Austin and San Antonio, Texas. Just because!
5. Visit the Maritimes. (can't believe I haven't yet)
6. See Jackson Browne, Dave Matthews, Yo Yo Mah, and Bruce Springsteen again and again.
7. Smithsonian in Washington. All of it.
8. Sweden, Norway, and Australia. There are plenty more but in Tier two until I move one or all of these off the list.
The next goal isn't a place or a thing but a practice. I promise to share my time and what I've learned with others. If you've been blessed with the opportunities to see all that this great big wide world has to offer you should share what you learn with others. It alone has it's rewards.
I love mentoring and teaching and by enhancing my depth of knowledge with others my Bucket List becomes even more pleasurable.
Oh that "first wish?". Kim and I hope to be Grandparents one day. I remember the very phrase my Father wrote on my Brother Gord's card Dad gave him when his son was born. "now you know the circle of life.".
Over to you my girls!

Salute to CTV Edmonton
One of the nicest benefits of working in a radio station located inside a television station (with different owners) is I got a chance to work both personally and professionally with some really great and talented people over the 18 years I was in the CTV (CFRN) building.
CTV General Manager Lloyd Lewis is a personal friend and is the kind of guy who is happy to break out with a “Clapton solo” when you visit his office. He’s a great leader and knows that precious balance between ‘work hard – play harder’ and the spirit in the hallways is always infectious as we crossed paths on a daily basis.
This past week, while catching up on things in Edmonton, I was knocked out to see what started as a little ‘fun’ project in the CTV back lot of the building has now turned in to a major ‘fund raising’ event for several Edmonton charities.
A few years back the CTV Newsroom, under the leadership of Glenn Kubish (Kube) decided to put in a little skating rink out back for the staff and families to enjoy during the long winter period.
As many great ideas evolve one thing lead to another and now that “Rink of Dreams” is a mini NHL type rink that not only serves as a social spot during the winter months but now it is hosting the “ATB Financial Charity Shootout.”
This rink has it all, including boards, lights, and even ‘sponsors’ that help defray the costs that have to be paid to keep and maintain the rink into useable conditions. (I’ll bet the human Zamboni is working over time this past few weeks though!)
The ATB Financial Charity Shootout goes at the end of the month and CTV will be taping the event so that you all can see, enjoy, and participate in the event.
Basically it works like this.
Key CTV personnel will be dividing up $15,000 among nine very worthy Edmonton charities as they strap on skates and take one on one shots at CTV Weather man Josh Classen.
You’ll see Daryl McIntyre, (Wildlife Rehab Society) editor Pam Leier (Ronald McDonald House), Carrie LeClaire (Stars), Access TV’s Jefferson Humphreys (Boys + Girls Club), Graham Neil (Good Neighbor Fund), Dave Mitchell (Matt Cook Foundation), Adam Cooke (Special Olympics), and Josh Classen (Edmonton Food Bank), and by the time this article makes it to print one viewer will have won a chance to take a shot for their own choice of charity as well.
The prelim’s go Jan 29th, and air at 6pm on Jan 31st and Feb 1st. The semis will be aired ‘live’ on Feb 2nd and 3rd, and the final goes rain or shine – ok freezing cold or blinding snow – under the great Alberta skies on Feb 4th.
So not only has this little “Rink of Dreams” provided a great respite for the CTV folks to take it outdoors during the winter – but it has now grown to a very fun and spirited community event – supporting several local charities - for which the company is already very well known and respected for over the years.
Kudos’s to ATB for stepping up and participating in this fun adventure as well.
Also, in case you didn’t know before “The Good Neighbor Fund,” was started by my personal mentor Bruce Hogle several years ago, and provides substantial funds to much needed families in our city. Many of the CTV staff play key roles in keeping this Fund very active and vibrant throughout the year as well.
All the information on these projects is available at ctvedmonton.ca and wearealberta.ca.
Get out and cheer these people on – and fire off a supportive email or letter to them when you get a chance.
Great companies know the value of ‘giving back’ – and CTV Edmonton does it ‘naturally.’

Sports radio battle begins!
Congratulations to Mike Richards, formerly of The Fan, Calgary's sports station owned by Rogers Communications, who is heading east for a great new gig.
I worked with Mike in Toronto several years ago and the man has multiple talents.
When he moved from the big smoke to Cowtown I was thrilled to watch his evolution from comedy goofball to seasoned broadcaster so kudo's to Mike as he gets the big payoff now not only monetarily but to return "home" because he's heading back to 1050 on the radio dial debuting the new TSN Sports radio service, now owned by CTV.
This move makes me double happy because it means a) the big guys are investing in their products again, b) they're investing in AM radio again and c) it's a chance to repair what we started several years ago with the Team sports format across the country.
I don't need to ignite the conversation about what went wrong, because that's in the past, but I am excited about the possibilities that can go right when there is direct competition by two heavyweights in the business. (Sports pun intended)
If you're a sports guy with chops in this country you'll get a phone call.
If you're a sports personality, ie former player, with a dynamic personality you'll get a call.
If you're active on social media, extra points because that's where sports commentary thrives and you too will be attractive to these guys.
I mean who doesn't follow BizNasty on Twitter these days?
If you're currently one of the "orphans" of the old Team network you should also rejoice because both of these operators will want to cozy up to you to strengthen the National scope of the chain.
This is a return to the past too as radio and tv stations used to work together like this decades ago when they were both under one roof or owned by the same company.
The tv sports guy did the radio sports too. That was just the way it was then.
Several stations also used to simulcast play by play of CFL and WHL/NHL games then as well.
Both CTV and Rogers have huge armies of talent across the country to utilize on these stations to do it right.... And a substantial budget to work with to attract top talent.
Plus the National TV exposure for programming will be a huge bonus to help radio in the new PPM world.
Hey, AM radio has been dying across the country for the past decade. Many stations flipped to FM or even handed back AM licenses in markets big and small. Maybe people will flip back again....which will also benefit other formats still active on the platform. I hope so.
This signifies a rebirth of "possibilities" in a country with an insatiable appetite for sports.
It's an over used cliche but what the heck - "yes" let the games begin!
Maybe I should unretire....this sounds like fun again!
