But the Silver Surfers were 'doing it first!! We were the biggest numbers in online 'social networking' before Facebook came along. I mean, the day Saga Zone first publicised itself (30/10/2007) 30,000 senior applicants joined in 36 hours ............the software was not prepared for the rush and broke down, but was soon fixed, up and running. Many of those applicants were already on forums, as we are.
I can't see any worthy comparison between them and us. Us oldies are the fore-runners, I do agree though we seem a bit thin on the ground at the moment but would be surprised if the reason was F/B, Twitter etc.
