NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A social networking Web site for Americans aged 50-plus went live on Monday -- complete with an online obituary database that sends out alerts when someone you may know dies and that plans to set up a do-it-yourself funeral service.
The founder of Internet job site Monster.com, Jeff Taylor, launched Eons.com, a similar site to the popular online teen hang-outs MySpace or Facebook for the 50-plus crowd.
Umm.. okay.. uh.. I keep telling myself that 40 is the new 30... and I think that's true... especially considering that by the time I get older, lifespans will be 20 years longer than what my grandparents were..
He said baby boomers, the 77 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964, also wanted to have a greater input into their own funerals.
No.. I'm not a baby boomer.. Gen X - and the only one of the siblings that can claim that.. neener neener neener..
