Big saga for Mother and Son Over 50s Web Community
It doesn’t take £millions to get a successful senior online social network off the ground. Mother and son Sue and Miles Avison are one step ahead of Saga Zone (a recently hyped senior site) …and they’ve done it by themselves (and from separate countries…)! They launched Overfiftiesfriends.co.uk - the ideal social networking site for over fifties in the UK - in 2006, and the site’s a roaring success. Its more than 3000 members are socialising via the Internet and meeting up across the country, enjoying all sorts of activities that they’ve organised themselves through the site’s activities forum. Membership is steadily on the rise.
As a welcoming, professional, interactive community, Overfiftiesfriends provides the ideal meeting place for predominantly, though not exclusively, single people over and around the age of 50. It’s a place to chat, make friends and coordinate activities, from going to the theatre to walks and a pub lunch.
Focus is on getting more friends, not getting more dates. This age group is not always interested in dating, so group activities for friends takes the pressures off meeting one another that can be associated with Internet dating.
Visit www.overfiftiesfriends.co.uk and see for yourself how the members are getting out and getting active!
BIG news: the site is due for a major facelift! In the coming weeks members will have so much more to do, from Blogging to creating clubs. Watch this space…
