MyChumsClub.com has pioneered the idea of self-booked events for the newly-retired, with trips already successfully completed to Istanbul , Russia, France , Poland , Austria and Italy .

Online social networking was the flavour of last year but the social sites that opened in that whirl of media hype have had to learn to adapt: sites today need to offer more to their members than a blog forum in order to survive.

Here are some screen shots of Andrew being interviewed on BBC2- the business programme at midday. Date Friday 21st December.

The subject was the evening film about the progress of Facebook being dogged by issues about theft of personal identity- that's why there is a big Facebook logo at the back of the studio.

It was pretty scary being on live TV and I wasn't expecting the second question to be about our privacy advice. It was more frenetic than I had imagined as they were adding pieces as the programme was on air.

Rory said off camera that he thought Facebook had had its day and was destined to be just a student site in the future. Good news for MyChums as we will have the over fifties field for ourselves.

 Considering that Sagazone launched the same day as us, with a big budget and corporate clout, we had amazing coverage of MyChumsClub.com in the Telegraph and Times.

Clearly we were the first in our field and had a great service to offer!
