What are your thoughts on this subject?
Since this forum was opened by a younger friend on my list...I thought I would share it with all of you so as to get her the answer she is asking for.
I copied her message below...along with my response.

Okay, it's not uncommon to see people in their late thirties trying to be cool on CherryTap, Myspace or other sites, or making the account for business, but what's with the 60 year old people on here? I don't know about you, but I think it's a little weird.
My reply to her:
Um...hun...Several of the best people I know on here are in the mid to late 50's.
In fact, the second best friend I have...who is on CT, is 45.
The older people aren't on here to be cool.
CT, Myspace, and other friendship/networking sites aren't supposed to be popularity zones. It's about connecting with people and making friends.
Does age matter when you want to find some new people to chat with? No way! The ages on here run the whole spectrum. If you've only seen a few 60 year olds...then you haven't seen near what's out there.
You might actually try talking to an older person, just as friends. They tend to be much better friends, are usually much more real, and they sometimes have very interesting stories and are great when you need advice.
Maybe open your mind a bit and try to think outside of the box. You might get the opportunity to meet some really kewl people you might have missed out on before.
Just my opinion...humble as it may be

NOW >>>>
The question here is...
Is their an age limit on the internet? Can you be too old?
Does being 30 or older...and having online profiles and chatting...mean you're just trying to be cool and you shouldn't be online????
Leave comments with your opinion. *hug*
