What were the criteria for selection for the list — beyond boomer content/perspective?

Thanks for the include in your list. I’m passionate about health and how the right approach can assure baby boomers the time of their lives. Thanks again. Tonie Konig - Libido and Health

Meh. Sour grapes that I didn’t make the list:
-Time Goes By is at least 100 years old.
-Aging Fabulous isn’t even blog it’s a channel - part of b5media.
-Libido and Health? Yeah, that’s all boomers think about, if I screw will I die? It’s a friggin’ storefront! probably a splogger.
- The Boomer Blog is written by a PR agency. Are you kidden me? This made the list?
- Aging Maven works as a bureaucrat for some “feel-good” agency in Milwaukee.
Bah!
Here’s a few dozen that should have been on your list to “monitor.”

Why just 14?
If you client wanted you to monitor 25-40, would you choose 14?

Yo “60″ - The list seems to focus mainly on boomer-centric anxieties. We’re just not properly self-absorbed…We’re also boring while failing to understand the seriousness of it all, I’m sure :)
Exception - The Boomer Chronicles rocks!

Sadly, Blogs by African-Americans still get overlooked—even though we are a weblog to be reckoned with! The only site I actually agree with you on is The Boomer Cjronicles. OPEN UP YOUR EYES and see that http://www.boomerdivanation.org is where boomer women are on the move and making a difference and we’re DIVERSE! Rare, I know.

I have a great blog for boomer that’s unique. It’s not about how to sell to boomers or a personal diary.
My blog is called The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide, and it offers consumer information for the use of boomer consumers. I write about healthcare, tips for buying, housing, retirement, personal finance, consumer frauds to watch out for, and much more.
I also love photography, so include my photos and other photos on my blog.
