The Washington Post shined a spotlight on senior bloggers last week with a Health section article<\/a> and an even more interesting online discussion<\/a> with Ronni Bennett, author of the blog \u201cTime Goes By.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

Pew Internet Project data suggests that bloggers over the age of 65 are quite rare. According to our January-March 2005 surveys, 27% of Americans age 65+ go online. Just 15% of these wired seniors (or just 4% of all seniors) have read a blog and only 2% of online seniors (or less than 1% of all seniors) say they have created a blog. By comparison, 66% of Americans age 18+ go online. One in four of all adult internet users say they have read a blog and 9% say they have created one.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
