Eons.com
Eons.com is the 50+ persons version of MySpace.com. Jeff Taylor who started Monster.com built this site for people that are 50+ to get together and keep up with who is still alive. Heres a snip from the Sydney Morning Herald:
Eons.com has interactive games to build brain strength, news on entertainment and hobbies for older people, a personalised longevity calculator and tips to live longer.
It also has a nationwide database of obituaries dating back to the 1930s to which people can add photos and comments.
“The death business is growing,” Taylor told Reuters, offering figures showing the number of deaths in the United States rose to 2.4 million in 2005 from 2.2 million in 2000, and was projected to rise to 4.1 million by 2040.
In addition to adding photos and videos to obituaries, members of Eons.com can sign up to receive an alert when someone from a particular area dies or in response to pre-defined keywords such as a company or school name.

What creeps me out is the obits part.. then again, I’m not 50+ maybe thats why I don’t understand.. kinda like how the 50+’s dont understand why myspace is so popular (or me for that matter).
Note: for us younger folk there is MyDeathSpace.com which keeps up with all the MySpace user deaths.
