#AgeOp Chat April 9, 2009
If you are just learning about our weekly Age of Opportunity chat, be sure to check out these blogs for some helpful tips, tricks and even a how-to video. The Age of Opportunity is an informal think tank for people to discuss issues that affect the 50+ market -- from media, entertainment, sports, health and more.
The Age of Opportunity Chat happens live on Thursday nights from 9-10pm, on Twitter.com. It is organized by members of the Growing Bolder staff, but it is an independent project. Industry experts will attend as guest hosts to facilitate the discussion and answer your questions!

After sharing some of our plans for the holiday weekend, the room started talking about newspapers and media, and the future of the industry:
Not surprisingly, since the group was already talking about media and newspapers, the conversation quickly turned to a discussion of our favorite books -- from childhood, and as adults. And boy did things get fun!
Another great night, with great people! If you're just hearing about The Age of Opportunity, we hope you're intrigued to join us next week.

@cindyoyo: HI everybody! This #ageop group is the highlight of my twitter week! Great to be here!
@MarshaHudnall: @cindyoyo mine, too. i really like connecting like this.
@MarshaHudnall: RT @marcmiddleton I use twitter in sev ways bt honestly think this (#ageop)is the highest use. It has the most potential for connect
@marcmiddleton: There's firepower in this room. What does twitter do? How can we use it? The rules are still being written. Lets figure out together
@sherisaid: @marcmiddleton I think the most powerful thing we can build with twitter is audience, which leads to influence.

After sharing some of our plans for the holiday weekend, the room started talking about newspapers and media, and the future of the industry:
@cindyoyo: @ageopportunity I hope newspapers don't die! There's just something about black ink on your hands after a good, leisurely read!
@marcmiddleton: @ageopportunity maybe news Organizations should be run by non-profits. The profit motive originally fueled the biz,then tarnished it.
@SpectatorDad: newspapers should follow Detroit Free Press @freep model...deliver 3 days a week and invest in 2.0 technology
@ClaudiaGlaser: I think technology will kill the newspaper industry, but I hope the Kindle doesn't t kill the book industry
@sherisaid: @ClaudiaGlaser I think books will not follow newspapers. Some of us have a deep need for a real book.

Not surprisingly, since the group was already talking about media and newspapers, the conversation quickly turned to a discussion of our favorite books -- from childhood, and as adults. And boy did things get fun!
@Blmoyer: where the wild things are...pictures, drama and fantasy
@MarshaHudnall: @ageopportunity I was a big fan of Nancy Drew. still like detective stories. detectives are now adult women
@kwidrick: I'll never give up books ... there's something about getting lost in the words that I don't get from reading on the computer.
@JoeTheProducer: @ageopportunity As a child I couldn't see. As a teen I refused to see. As an adult, I read children's books to my kids. - Pooh.
@daccarte: @ageopportunity I loved biographies. Probably my fav as a young girl was biography of Marie Curie.
@kpkfusion: Hard to choose fav but I do remember reading the entire set of Hardy Boy books, also Yale Shakespeare.
@SpectatorDad: @ageopportunity The Lion Witch and the Warddrobe
@marcmiddleton: Jim Thorpe All-American. Later made into a movie staring Burt Lancaster.
@gmarkham: @AgeOpportunity The Hobbit. The first book I remember (read to us by a Grade 2 teacher)
@StarStrukLynna: Secret Garden, Little Princess, Nancy Drew books...
@cindyoyo: Rebeca of Sunnybrook Farm, the Adventures of Pippy Longstocking
@Choonks: @MarshaHudnall: Anne of Green Gable, Nancy Drew, The Bobbsey Twins- as I got older- Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes
One member of the group brought up Dara Torres' new book, and a recent quote from the Olympic swimmer: "...If I can inspire both women and men in anything it would be that age is just a number, not a death sentence. Wake up every morning with a plan and a dream. If you do, like me, dreams do still come true in your 40s and beyond."@MarshaHudnall: @ageopportunity I was a big fan of Nancy Drew. still like detective stories. detectives are now adult women

@CoachLifeDesign: @ageopportunity saying that at 40 is one thing; living it every day 20,30,40,etc. years later is another
@JoeTheProducer: If we didn't have the contrast, we wouldn't have something to strive for. Total bliss everyday would be boring.
@StarStrukLynna: @ageopportunity My dreams are consistent with those at 25...wanted everything for my kids, still do. Wanted happiness, still do.
@Blmoyer: My Dreams have changed dramatically since 25 they focus on the success of other instead of myself
@ClaudiaGlaser: @ageopportunity More centered, more about passion than impulsiveness, still has to have the ingredient of fun in it though!
@gerohelper: @ageopportunity Torres' quote reinforces my belief that age is more of an attitude than a number in today's society
@marcmiddleton: @ageopportunity I think desires change more than dreams. True dreams come early and stay late.
@kpkfusion: As you get older you have a greater sense of the possible. Passion to achieve is constant at any age. Quality of mentorship is key.
