Over 50s are taking the Internet by storm

2007-07-03T11:03:08+02:00

And the choice for over 50s Internet users is vast. We have everything from dating sites, to insurance portals and special offer gateways at our disposal. A great example of the latter is http://www.seniorsdiscounts.co.uk/. The site claims to be a "a one-stop-shop to help people over 50 improve their personal finances." And it is working for its users!

Another site that provides a good catalogue of resources for over fifties, is http://www.silversurfers.net/, which, under its Silver Surfers link, lists a host of sites, local groups and Magazines. Seniors will find retirement advice, chat, magazines, computer training, investment help and local Silver Surfers' groups.

Solo's Holidays (http://www.gosolos.co.uk/) is an established site for single holiday makers. They have also teamed up with a community for over fifties that offers friendship and activities, namely http://www.overfiftiesfriends.co.uk/. Overfiftiesfirends focuses on activities organised by the members, for the members. Over fifties can join this community to find friends among other seniors online and meet offline in groups without any of the pressures of dating. But the site also has activities and events organised by third parties and will soon help Solo's market its Solo's Events, regional events with the aim of helping new singles travellers become more at ease with the prospect of travelling alone.

So as you can see, plenty for over fifties to choose from on the Web, and this is just the beginning!
