Founder of Baby Boomer Social Networking Site Recognized as Expert Contributor by EzineArticles.com

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EzineArticles.com, the online article aggregator and Web content supplier to thousands of email newsletter publishers, awards Web entrepreneur Ronald Mercier the status of "expert contributor" to their website.

Ronald Mercier, the owner and founder of the website ActiveEmptyNesters.com, a social networking website designed specifically for the baby boomer generation, has been appointed as an expert contributor on all topics relating to the baby boomer age group. Mercier, a baby boomer himself who recently retired after more than 40 years working in the field of Information Technology, will be putting his expert knowledge to good use by helping baby boomers make the most of social networking to enhance their lives.

"Online social groups are slowly being adapted by baby boomers for uses other than keeping up with the family," said Mercier. "There are a number of factors contributing to the lack of baby boomers' use of online social networks and they all revolve around the generational gap between boomers and their children. My articles help expose these differences and provide food-for-thought, so boomers will be able to make greater use of online social groups to assist in improving their lifestyle as they approach retirement."

EzineArticles.com has over 100,000 RSS feeds and an additional 700+ email-alert lists serving millions of unique visitors each month and over 100,000 permission-based members and publishers.

"Generational online social groups remove many of the fears that baby boomers have regarding participating in social networks," said Mercier. "With experience from our baby boomer online social group, we observe behaviors that become obstacles to their participation. Our articles target these behaviors and offer answers or solutions that will minimize the obstacle from preventing active participation in online social groups."
