I'm a UK post-graduate student studying how people over 50 use Twitter. There is very little research in this area and I'd welcome participation from any member of the Grey Pride community. I think social media is very empowering for people of all ages and more attention should be paid to how older adults use it. Here is a link to a description of the study and a short survey - Thanks!

Comment by Frances Andrews-Speed on March 29, 2012 at 14:57 Hi there Andrea, I do have twitter, but find facebook more easily accessed with ones friends and family on tap via the newsfeed.
Comment by Richard Alexandar on March 20, 2012 at 12:37 Ditto Kathryn. I would love to know what you have found out. :-)
Hello Andrea
I see you've closed this survey now. I'd be really interested to see what you find - do you have plans to share your findings online anywhere?
Comment by Annette Albert on March 17, 2012 at 10:51 I use twitter and absolutely love it. I run a local community website and although I have not had a twitter account for very long it is very much part of my life.
Morning Jane - I'm on Pinterest - find myself looking at other peoples pictures more than sharing my own - should really get more involved as I love the idea behind it.

Comment by Diane Franks on March 9, 2012 at 7:18 I use twitter (informational not personal), facebook (personal and an information page), have a wordpress blog and a website and run a forum. Love it!! Survey about to be done ...
Comment by Andrea Smart on March 8, 2012 at 16:20 Thank you Richard - I really appreciate it!
Comment by Richard Alexandar on March 8, 2012 at 13:30 For gawd's sake, just do it as a private individual. You have my permission below. Anyway, I've now done the study.
