Blog about getting older

Most older people are happy, employed and active, but you wouldn’t know that from the popular media which routinely portrays them as feeble, decrepit and foolish. Now, Time Goes By, the first and only Website to examine what it’s really like to get older, takes on the common stereotype and is creating a popular and vibrantly interactive dialogue among a global audience that includes baby boomers, seniors and interestingly, some younger folks too. The new blog has already reached five on a scale of ten on Google’s Website importance rankings, a rarity for non-political Weblogs in their first year. It covers, in essays published five days a week, cultural attitudes toward older people, age discrimination in the workplace, coming to terms with one’s aging appearance, social life, the politics of aging, sex, health and anything that touches on the blog’s tagline, “What It’s Really Like To Get Older.”
