The Senior List on Social Media

November 21, 2012 by TimOnTech 2 Comments

Are you on Facebook, LinkedIn and/or Twitter? If not, you might think about joining the social revolution! The Pew Internet and American Life Project recently published some impressive statistics about social networks and just who’s online today! Interesting to note that “as of August 2012, 69% of online adults use social networking sites”. That’s a big number! Not so surprising is that most of these adults polled choose to interact with Facebook (primarily) followed by the other major social networking sites (see below), and women are more likely to be using social networking sites as compared to men.

As of August 2012 Pew polling noted:

66% of online adults say they use Facebook
20% of online adults say they use LinkedIn
16% of online adults say they use Twitter
12% of online adults say they use Pinterest
12% of online adults say they use Instagram

The Senior List has a robust following on social media sites and we’d like to invite you to join our online engagement! You can find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TheSeniorList. We post our own articles as well as some of our favorite writers around the country. In addition to joining The Senior List on Facebook, you’ll find a great networking resource on our LinkedIn group site (aptly named The Senior List). You can find The Senior List group site on LinkedIn very easily. Just navigate to “groups” and type in “The Senior List”. You’ll be joining over 1,600 other aging professionals that love to discuss the issues facing boomers and seniors.

If that wasn’t enough you can find us on Twitter (@SeniorList) and join over 3,600 fellow aging pros and business owners. We look forward to seeing you back here at The Senior List.com as well as on our social media partner sites.

The Senior List Celebrates Social Media With Giveaways

September 18, 2010 by Chris Leave a Comment

This week The Senior List is celebrating social media (and the best eldercare providers on the planet)! The Senior List Eldercare Directory engages the best senior-care providers by providing a platform that focuses on consumer ratings and reviews. This week, The Senior List is giving away 10 Showcase Listings to senior-care providers that join our Facebook Fan Page. The Showcase Listings will run through the remainder of this year, and expire on Dec. 31, 2010. If you’re a senior-care provider, all you have to do is add yourself to The Senior List on Facebook and introduce yourself and/or your company.

At noon on Friday (PST), September 24th we’ll select 10 eldercare providers (at random) from our Facebook Fan Page. Be sure to introduce yourself, as only those providers with a shout-out will be considered eligible. (If you’re already on our Facebook page, don’t worry… Just introduce yourself and/or your company and you’re eligible.) We’ll place all of our eligible entrants into a hat, and ask co-founder Amie Clark to pluck out 10 lucky winners. Our Showcase Listings are the best in the business. They include premium positioning, photo gallery, rich description, video embed, direct contact form, coupon/promotions, and more… As a provider on The Senior List, you can even monitor your business listing’s performance with our “provider dashboard” tool. This dashboard allows providers to track impressions, clicks, etc. You can read about all of our listing options here on our Advertising Options page.

We’ll announce the lucky winners Friday, September 24th at 12:15pm (PST). The announcement will be made live right here on The Senior List Blog. We’ll follow this up an hour later by announcing the results on our Facebook Page, on Twitter (@seniorlist), AND on LinkedIn. Best of luck, and see you around!
