Have You Been to Boomertowne?

Well, I am not officially a Baby Boomer, but my hubby is. Do I qualify by marriage? 
There is a new website in town, called Boomertowne. I have seen it multiple times being plugged on TV! Yes, by way of television commercials. I was sort of surprised to see this.
When looking over the website, which is just overloaded with special guests and almost too much information, I sort of felt like I was lost in there. In the About Us page of the website, they lay claims to have three key areas, but then it goes on to list 6 areas. See what I mean about information overload?
Personally, I like more niche sites and blogs, where I can get in, get out, and find specifically what I want. But, that does not mean that I am missing the bigger picture here. One thing I totally don’t get, is the flash scene on the home page of the woman with a shopping bag walking her dog! You can switch her to walk either way, and it just makes no sense whatsoever to me!!! Am I alone here in how I feel?
If you like Boomertowne, let me know!
I have to disagree with you there Teri. I have found BoomerTowne to be very helpful on numerous ocassions. I have used BoomerTowne Travel for a trip I am planning with my daughter & I have looked up numerous medical, health & nutrition questions that I have had over the past month or so for myself & my aging mother. What’s not to like??
Not everyone needs every subject Teri but I think they are being very smart by offering something for everyone. The Towne Council covers a wide variety of specialities, I don’t need all of them but I sure have enjoyed the webcasts on the subjects that I am personally interested in or need.
I AM an “official baby boomer” & I find it very helpful & enjoyable to be able to participate in discussion groups about something that I am personally passionate about or stuggling with along with others from my generation. I can’t understand why this would bother you.
Just one boomer’s opinion…..
I am glad to hear that you like it, Tisha.
