We might have a lead on where all those old Facebookers are suddenly coming from. Advertising Age reports that marketers, sensing the hype, are joining the Facebook bandwagon in droves.

These include Julie Roehm, who calls Facebook “a terrific networking site that has a social bent, which makes it more fun than businesslike.”

Roehm is using the service to connect with “young family members” according to Facebook, while other marketing gurus are taking advantage of said “social bent” to demonstrate that they too have personalities – joining political parties, posting vids and sharing useless information in real-time via the status feature.

Ad Age’s Steve Rubel, for example, is “enjoying a light frappucino.”

We played with the thought of trashing all these people but unfortunately we’re on it too, and practically log on compulsively to see if anyone has SuperPoked us in the last 8-10 minutes.

I spent a decade trying to change myself into someone happier and the breakthrough came when I realized the version of me I was trying to build was just a more polished copy of someone else — and the person I actually needed to become was the one I’d been running from since I was nineteen

Psychology says the most accomplished boomers in their 70s spend their free time in ways their 40-year-old selves would have found embarrassing—slowly, unproductively, without measurable outcome—and the ones who made that transition most completely are almost always the ones who describe their later years as the happiest, because they finally stopped performing success and started actually experiencing their own life

The real digital divide in the age of AI isn’t between young and old. It’s between people who trust the first answer they’re given and people who’ve spent a lifetime learning to interrogate confident-sounding nonsense. That second group skews much older than the tech industry wants to admit

Psychology says the boomer women who are most difficult to be close to in later life aren’t the ones who suffered most—they’re the ones who spent decades converting their suffering into a permanent orientation towards the world, one that keeps score, expects compensation, and experiences other people’s happiness as a quiet affront to everything they’ve had to endure
