If you're a boomer, chances are you are a grandparent. Of course the web has a place for you to become an even better grandparent ie: you will probably find a lot of ads for things your grandkids are going to like. But there are also going to be some articles that may make you a better, if not happier about yourself, grandparent.
Grand Magazine calls itself the "official magazine for grandparents." I like publications that call themselves "official." I guess that makes their competitors "unofficial." And they will have a new competitor in a couple of months called Grandparents.com. They have already produced quite a few newsletters which you can subscribe to.
If I were Grand Magazine, even though they have 125,000 subscribers, I'd pay attention to the new kid on the block. From just a few minutes that I spent on the 2 sites, Grandparents will probably have a much cleaner, Web 2.0 look to it when it launches and Grand Magazine seems to be stuck in the 90's with exactly what it is-a magazine with a web site. Just because grandparents are older doesn't mean they don't want an attractive up to date looking website to browse.





Another site worth watching is EverythingGrandkids.com, looks like there is going to be some competition out there.
