Eons.com is an online community, specifically catered to recreation-minded boomers and individuals in the 40-plus age range. While many other websites targeting these older generations have put their focus on providing informational content, Eons has turned over content-creation to its users.
The site currently has 850,000 active members who collectively contribute to over a thousand discussion topics including travel, romance, diet and fitness, wine and dining, pets, careers, volunteering and retirement – to name a few. The active members contribute to these discussion forums, but their conversations are also found by almost 1.6 million unique visitors every month; who often use these discussions as a source for anecdotal information.
Eons is also host to many “brain-games,” aimed at improving or maintaining a healthy mind. Featured games include matching exercises, trivia questions, jigsaw and Sudoku puzzles and The Los Angeles Times crossword. Users can even challenge their friends or others to compete for high-scores.
Like other social networking sites, Eons.com also lets users to stay connected with their friends and family by sharing photos and videos. But unlike other popular sites like Facebook, Eons is more about creating new friendships based on related interests than staying in touch with those you already know.
The site is free to users, but includes targeted adverts similar to those found on other social networking sites. Eons also requires age verification for all users who wish to join. Learn more at www.eons.com
