Tip of the Hat to Springwise for this lead!

Eons is a new, full-fledged social network and information portal for baby boomers, encouraging them to celebrate life, get things done, learn and connect with other people over the age of 50. The company was founded by Jeff Taylor, who also created Monster.com.

Divided into seven categories -- Fun, Love, Money, Body, Goals, Obits and LifeMap -- the website is highly focused on being active and realizing dreams. he goals section, for example, lets members publish the top 10 goals they'd like to accomplish before they turn 100.

A somewhat less cheery note is struck in the obits section. Members can subscribe to obituary alerts, search a database of over 77 million obits and also add tributes, memory journals and photos to obituaries.

This is a great example of applying a new technology like Social Networking software to a new audience or market type. Well done!
