I have many friends in the Baby Boomer category. Those whose businesses aren’t technology-related seem to be fairly uninterested in social networks. Granted sites like MySpace (with its crazed graphics overload) and Facebook (with its university inception) haven’t made Boomers feel quite at home in the social networking world.
But things they are a’ changin’. Click through for more about some new social networks that are geared towards the Boomer set.

Are you going to the CMA’s Digital Marketing Conference this Thursday and Friday? If so, I’ll be there. I’m leading the round table discussion on Blogs as well as soaking up wisdom from some of the great folks on the speaking roster. I’m really interested in what Dr. Anita Sands, VP Innovation from RBC has to say. And I’m hoping Mark Hurst from Good Experience can give me some tips on whipping my inbox into shape.
Folks from Edelman, Heavy.com, Facebook and Nettwerk are going to be there as well. Lots of good stuff!
If you’re going and you read One Degree, please find me and introduce yourself. We’ll also have a roving reporter, Alexa Clark, on the scene as well. She’s going to be doing video interviews … both with speakers and attendees.
So, snag one of us! Would love your feedback on how we’re doing as well as on what you’d like to see in the future.
For the first time in Canada, the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit is coming to Toronto on April 1-3.
Produced by eMetrics Canada and led by conference director, Andrea Hadley, the event lineup will feature a mix of Canadian, US and International speakers. Assisting Andrea with this effort will be the Advisory Board, consisting of Joseph Carrabis (NextStageEvolution), Stephane Hamel (Immeria.net), Alex Langshur (PublicInsite) and me (June Li, ClickInsight)
With Joseph being from Halifax and Andrea from Vancouver, we have coast to coast coverage.
eMetrics Summits began as an collegial 50 person summit in 2002 in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. A testament to the growing recognition of the need to not only measure and optimize one’s online presence, the intimate Santa Barbara eMetrics summit has evolved into the Marketing Optimization Summit, a 5-city effort, the largest being the 6-track 3-day event that just concluded in Washington D.C. An estimated 600 people were in attendance from all parts of the globe. It’s an extremely energizing, mind-expanding 3 days of discussion, ideas and many new friends.
