Monster.com founder's next venture: Hooking older, wiser Web users By Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | July 30, 2006
At 45 years old, Jeff Taylor, founder of the popular Internet job-search site Monster.com, is too young to sign up for his new Internet venture.

That number is destined to grow as the post-World War II baby boom generation continues to age. ``All of those boomers who first started using Monster are now turning 50," said Taylor. ``Ten thousand people are turning 50 every day."
