While Facebook was set up initially just for college students, the user base is definitely getting older as reported by the New York Times. I have expressed my views in the past why social networking websites set up just for 40+ users may be facing an uphill battle. Sure Facebook may be a little intimidating initially but once you spend some time on it, it really does have a wealth of features you aren't going to find anywhere else in social networking. Take a look at the article in the New York Times about older users including a 73 year old. 
There's also a blog post worth reading about older Facebook users at Scobleizer.
