From: Virpi Ylanne <ylanne@Cardiff.ac.uk> Subject: [Air-L] research on older people's use of social networking sites To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Received: Sunday, 26 July, 2009, 1:46 AM I wonder if anyone on this site is doing research on older people's (60+ yrs) use of social networking sites (e.g. facebook, myspace), or if you know of any such work. If so, I'd like to hear from you.
with best wishes,
