Saga Zone - Facebook for Oldies

SagazoneYou may have noticed a lot in the Press at the moment about Sagazone - an over 50's version of Facebook promoted by Saga.  It's OK as far as it goes, if you like these Social Networking sites (can't say they appeal much to me), but I couldn't work out why they were bothering to set it up until I delved into the Terms & Conditions and found this:

"We may provide you with information by post, telephone, SMS, or email about other products and services which we consider may be of interest to you, unless you contact us..."

So it's really just a prospect list gathering exercise for Saga.  Oh what a surprise. 

Still I suppose if you tick all the right "no adverts" boxes (if you can find them) it'll be fine, if you like that sort of thing.

,and finding them will be the hardest riddle you'll ever come across.

Poor vision would make a good topic for discussion

Hi,

I am doing phd research into social networking and older adults. What sorts of features would older adults like on their social networking sites. Also why do you think social networking doesn not appeal to everyone
