AARP guidelines for Facebook and Twitter

You must promise not to laugh. I really did not go the AARP site looking for info, I just searched on “twitter” to see what came up. Actually, whatI found was some good, common sense advice about entering into the social media world that applies whatever a person’s age.

In “A Social Networking Primer,” by Don Wilmott (AARP.org, July 2009), the step-by-step get started tips are very helpful. This is accompanied by an AARP magazine “Online Extra” that covers several aspects of social networking, from do’s and don’ts on Facebook to the best ways to “cast one’s net” to build a network.

That AARP is including quite a bit of content related to social media further underscores the growth in the older demographics on Facebook and Twitter.
