SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Feb. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Internet start-up Seniors Grand Central (www.SeniorsGrandCentral.com) put itself on the map with the initial funding of $300.00 in September 2006, and is successfully competing with its $10 Million dollar rival. To date Seniors Grand Central(TM), a new Internet Community built for ages 50 and up, has gained a member base spanning over 34 countries by addressing the needs of its members through direct feedback which has lead to a 1,284-percent increase in usage.

Founder Nathaniel Adam Briggs states, "It's all about customer alignment through listening to what they want, and mixing it together with quality, and good common sense. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, not more difficult, and that's exactly what we do."

By using Natural Language in place of technical jargon, and integrating video instruction, the website makes its features easy-to-use, and extends its member's abilities to Connect, Learn, and Explore.

"Connect with someone 10 or 10,000 miles away. Learn about digital photography or how to send pictures to friends & family. Explore interesting world architecture or Santorini Island off the coast of Greece. We have something for everyone," Nathaniel proclaims.

The web site's features and services include Video-based feature stories, an Interactive Map-Based Pen Pal Finder, Video-based Learning, Chat, Dating, Discussion Groups, Journals, Photo Galleries, Prescription Ordering, and Games -- to name just a few.

Seniors Grand Central is also the exclusive home of 3 columnists: Nancy Merz Nordstrom, M. Ed., host of the "Learning Later" column, and author of "Learning Later, Living Greater"; David Hart, host of "The Lighter Side: His"; and Virginia Rose Jansen, the host of "The Lighter Side: Hers."

With a full spectrum of easy-to-use features, and consistent growth due to the strong connection with its members, Seniors Grand Central is bringing those over the age of 50 a premier internet destination that provides a fun, and enjoyable internet experience.
