So Tee Bee Dee is dead. I remember the Facebook ads. But do I count myself as a boomer, like a brand? Do I promote myself as a boomer? That was the premise behind Tee Bee Dee, a social network for Boomers to network amongst themselves. Misguided? Little bit.
So in the interest of getting real, I figured I would trot out my "memberships and accounts" and cross off the one's I have not utilized in the last 6 weeks. I am interested to see what services make the cut. And then I'll simplify my consolidated profile by eliminating the non-essentials.
The current list with services to be eliminated crossed through:

Interesting post John !
For a lot of tools, we're 'joiners' according to the Social Technographics ladder. That is we join a lot of social networks.
