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!
Here
are some of the hundreds of tweets posted during the June 4, 2009, Age
of Opportunity Chat. If you'd like to see all of the responses, go to search.twitter.com and type in #ageop. Feel free to leave comments and questions below in this forum!
We talked a little bit about President Obama's trip to Cairo, as well as Forbes Magazine's Most Powerful Celebrities List and the death of actor David Carradine. And we also took some time to salute @gerohelper and her plans to take social media into senior centers!
But Twitter's bad behavior made it difficult to stay on topic! So this night's discussion morphed into a more casual chat, and ended up being a lot of fun!
