Can Grandpa compete with Facebook?

February 20th, 2010 Posted in Boomer News, family

The focus of this blog has been on our eleven grandchildren and of  course the parents and adults of our immediate family. If I add in relatives and friends, The Boomer news has a potential circulation of 30 to 40 readers. According to recent polls, children and young adults from 10 to 29  are no longer interested in blogs.

We’ll I guess I need to be more creative to hold the attention of my grandchildren and immediate family. The kids, and some of our adults use Facebook and pretty much all our adults use email. I can send copies of my blogs to the families using emails. I can join Facebook and make all my grandchildren “my friends” and see if I can interest them in my blogs in that way.

The next blog will be a survey. When companies want to know what their customers are thinking, they ask them to answer their survey. Grandpa is going to list all the various subjects I have written about in the last 3.5 years and ask  you if  you might be interested in the subject matter … or no, you don’t have any interest at all in the subject matter.

I know you have told me in the past the blog is too serious … (you were kind enough not to say the blog was boring). I’ll work on being less serious, but the blog isn’t about chit chat and social conversation. I’m an old grandpa … so you get what old grandpa’s have to give … their experience … in hopes that in some small way, that might helpful to you.

    I think posting your blog on facebook would be a great idea. Keeps it in front of people like me so we remember to read! (:
