Boomity, A New Social Network for Grown Ups Redefining Community
Navigating The Next Wave of Social Networks For A Generation That Has Much in Common
Kentfield, CA (PRWEB) March 3, 2008
Boomity is a new social networking site (http://www. boomity. com (http://www. boomity. com)) - a place to bring a generation of interests together online or the real world to find active socially responsible doers. It is linked by a generation of common experiences, issues, opportunities and cultures. “The majority of web users will be on at least one social network in the next couple of years and our evolving generation needs a site like Boomity to bring people together around topical interests and issues,” says David Siskin, Founder and CEO of Boomity http://www. boomity. com (http://www. boomity. com).
Boomity is about thought provoking writing and fresh ideas, stories that open doors to communities where you can click into new activities and find a partner, an expert or a kindred spirit and take immediate action in any aspect of your life. “Most of our generation already network with other people around common interests – we are used to using the phone, email and attending parties as some of the ways we do so. The big difference in using a web based social network is that Boomity will allow us to cast our net wider and with greater ease than the traditional way we are used to. The old way we network is one-to one - with Boomity, the network around common interests will grow exponentially.”
Boomity is your world. You can do something about it. You can help change it - especially now. “Even though our generation is extremely diverse in age, geography, political perspectives, we have a lot of common issues where we can learn from each other,” Siskin points out. “Whether we are in living in Manhattan or in Juno, chances are we still listen to the Rolling Stones, like to stay healthy, have a warm spot for Lassie, Gilligan’s Island, The Mousekateers and Bonanza as well as a strong desire to leave our world a better place than we found it. The pockets of cultural, economic and lifestyle diversity are incredible and Boomity builds networks around these iconic elements.”
Boomity, http://www. boomity. com (http://www. boomity. com)], makes it easy to tap the source of your ideas and plans or inspire new ones. Boomity gives a platform to our generation with supportive people, places activities and products. It's about cutting to the chase and having a good time and making the world a better place. If you want a cooking demonstration or a tennis partner, environmental tips or try living in another country, even shop for a new spouse, Boomity has a community, an expert, or a partner that will help you find your path.
