Peer to peer networking groups define themselves in a multitude of ways and as social networking groups develop the trend seems to be the evolution of very definitive, niche communities centered around specific lifestyles. Now, the much ballyhooed boomer generation  has an online community directly geared to their lifestyles and ambitions.

“At Boomertowne.com we know that as part of the largest generation, Baby Boomers have unique needs and demands and yet are individual and independent…
That’s why we created Boomertowne.com – to help Baby Boomers like us connect with other Boomers…”

Hosting a panel of celebrities that assume the role of “Town Council”, Boomertowne intends to cover areas of interest from dealing with aging parents to contemplation of a second career to investment guidance, to health and fitness.

Members on the council include author Stephen Covey, talk show host Montel Williams,NBC medical expert Dr. Bob Arnot, Finance expert Terry Savage and golf expert Gary Player.
