You want to know something that made me feel really old? Wii Fit. Based on my limited flexibility and terrible balance, my Wii Fit age is 40! That's pathetic considering I'm actually only 25. This presidential election has also made me feel old. For the first time, I genuinely care about my 401k, healthcare benefits, and my taxes. Don't those topics make you feel old? Today, my boss told me that I need to get more sleep. He said that getting a full 8 hours could increase my performance during the day. Budgeting my sleep time? That makes me feel really old! 
When I talk my grandpa how to use a computer, and when I described my job to my Mom, I saw how a conversation about technology, especially an internet business blog can make someone feel old. Again, during a phone call with a future client, we discussed a blog for SEO versus advertising in the phone book, and I think he felt old.
This is never my goal while in a business conversation, and I am striving to simplify the importance of a corporate blog. However, in these economic times, feeling old can be a productive catalyst. Now more than ever, businesses are looking for NEW ways to get in front of their target market. For small business marketing or even enterprise level strategies, blogging is that perfect NEW solution . . .. even if it makes you feel old.
