The California-based social networking website is the first of its kind to target boomers AND jonesers. As a result it has been cited in numerous publications as an early adapter to niche social networking. The proposed value of this is examined in an article from yahoo.com - "Boomers grew up meeting people through mutual friends, which a lot of times meant it was the bartender. Now you have Boomers re-entering the single world, widowed or divorced, and on new-relationship terrain they haven't set foot on in many years. As they re-enter the single world they reach out to the Internet."<ref>http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20071219/ttc-year-2007-internet-214f919_1.html</ref>

The site is currently ranked in the top 25,000 websites according to alexa.com and over the past six months has more traffic than Eons.com - the spin off of Monster.com and arguably the most publicized social network within this space.<ref>http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/boomj.com</ref>
