Buzz alert!

The Saga Group, famed for their love of the older (wiser) generation, have launched a “Facebook for the over 50s”.
Featured as a story on BBC’s Breakfast this morning, sure enough, the site has since crashed and my attempt at adding 20 odd years to my age and joining this new social networking phenomenon is pending a database fix.
At least their main saga.co.uk services are still running - else there’d be lots of angry silver surfers blaming web 2.0 buzz for their inability to renew their cheap car insurance; or just bashing on their keyboards wondering why nothing is happening on the screen if my mum is anything to go by.
Of course, why the over 50’s would feel compelled to want to socialise online by publishing their blogs in a space only accessible to other over 50 year olds is beyond me. Maybe I have to grow up a bit.
