For me, this list is the coolest thing yet on BC. Twitter makes it easy for us all to connect with one another not just here, but everywhere.

I agree that an RSS feed would also be valuable. At the same time though, what harm would be caused by having your twitter url listed somewhere on the site. Wouldn't you like to have more like-minded followers?

Has anybody seen Avatar yet? I'm planning on going to see it over the Holidays. I'm hearing good things from all of the critics, but I want to hear what my Brazen peeps think!

I wasn't expecting a lot though, never really cared for James Cameron. But he didn't disappoint. Plot? Pretty thin. But in 3D? I had the time of my life. :) 126 weeks ago
Ryan Paugh:
You guys were right! Totally amazing!
Also excited to hear that Cameron is planning 2 sequels. 124 weeks ago

i like the 140 limit. it forces people to really think about what they are saying and be concise.
Rob Vanasco:
great idea Stephen. I second that. let the 140 characters be the teaser to the real conversation. 142 weeks ago
Ryan Paugh:
That's a cool idea Stephen. I'll bring it up to the rest of the team and see if it's something we can roll out. Love the ideas. Don't stop! 142 weeks ago

Yes, I have tried them, Ryan, but it seems like they're a bit off the beaten path. I agree with Stephen: Forums need more accessibility.
Ryan Paugh:
I guess the best answer is to show forums some more love...I'll definitely bring that up. Thanks! 142 weeks ago
Mark W.:
Additional spotlight to forums could be done with a "Recent Forum Activity" log with current "Recent Group Activity" log in right column. 141 weeks ago

I love Twitter's 140 limit. But I'm thinking the format is too limiting for BC kinds of interactions. Too much to say, not enough room.
Tom Guarriello:
This is an excellent question. You left this comment in the Blazing Boomers group, not the Boom Boom Room but it's relevant just the same. 142 weeks ago
Yuppie Boomers gave the world Bill Strauss and Neil Howe. The authors of generations.
Tom Guarriello:
Their books really set the standard for generational studies. 143 weeks ago

So, let's see. Only way I can communicate on BC is through groups or through my blog? Can't just leave a twitter-like observation, right?
Meenal Vamburkar:
I love old movies! TCM's Summer Under the Stars in August kept me glued to the TV, haha. 141 weeks ago
Vanessa Alvarado:
Naturally, that generation gap leaves too much room to list all the favorites. For classic musicals, "My Fair Lady" wins for witty dialog. 140 weeks ago
Carrie Clark
I'm a Gen Y and really just loved the name of this group. Lol. Although I'm feel that I feel I can relate better to Boomers than GenX
Tom Guarriello:
Just came to me in an inspirational flash! Felt like the right tone for us here. I hear lots of X/Y comm problems. Not uncommon. 143 weeks ago
Barbara Healy:
Carrie, that's probably because we have more in common when it comes to our values. Our values are developed during our adolesence.. 142 weeks ago

I like Rebecca's comments. My 3 youngest are 20, 25, 26. My oldest daughter (29) looks at her little sister like she's from another planet.
Tom Guarriello:
Seeing one another as hailing from different planets seems common. How do we overcome these reactions to focus on our similarities? 143 weeks ago
Rebecca Thorman
I think Boomers & Gen Yers have a lot more in common than say, Gen Xers. For ex, my Boomer Mom and I get along more than my Gen X sisters.
Tom Guarriello:
@Rebecca, optimism, yes, thanks. @Joel, lol, don't confusion fatigue with apathy! I think some Boomer fires still burn hot! 143 weeks ago

@Tom, good point, as JB said "in the end they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings" Fatigue more than apathy-yes 143 weeks ago
JR Moreau
Someone should do a parody video of "Boom Boom Pow" and make it about Boomer/GenX/GenY generational issues from the Boomer perspective
Eugene Yee:
"chatter" is limited to 140 char, but when I really wanna say something substantial, I'm forced to start a forum topic, which is hidden. 137 weeks ago
Jonathan Hung:
sign up flow + profile creation is a barrier to participation. Too many fields. Social media entry should be effortless, ie Tumblr. 136 weeks ago
