The Press Release issued today includes the following
Today Baby Boom Review was launched as a new social networking site with the goal to start fighting back the media criticism that places babyboomers on the defensive when they start to talk about their legacy. "We want to celebrate the books, movies and music of the sixties in particular" says co-founder and lifelong educator Laurence Peters who began the website with his brother, Mike Peters.
"We want to start a generational conversation--one grounded on our appreciation of the books media and unique culture of the period" commented Dr. Peters.
With the use of wiki enabled discussions the brothers hope that the conversation will flow naturally --focused on the great work of the era.
"it will all help us sort out what will last and what deserves to be forgotten--better we do it as boomers than leave it to others who may not understand the context of the times when the stuff was set down." says Mike Peters, a London based teacher and lecturer who will provide a UK perspective on the times.
To start a conversation just click on one of the buttons "Books, Albums, Movies" and you are immediately sent to a wiki where you can start the discussion.
We hope that these wiki conversations will lead to published collections of articles and essays --right now we have a plan to produce a unque Best of BabyBoomReview Annual Collection. "This I believe is a unique innovation in the blog and wiki world--a way that everyone can see a way to evolve their expressions into a more permanent form-benefiting from the input they receive in the wiki forum." says Dr Peters a former college writing teacher himself and author.
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez--brother!
