About Us
Meet Mr. O.G. O’Codger.
The name O’Codger was affectionately chosen to respectfully represent a community of people which we believe to be the most knowledgeable, most experienced and least utilized resource in America: Active Adults, Baby Boomers, Mature Americans over 50 years of age, Senior Citizens and the Elderly.
Mr. O.G. O’Codger will serve to represent the wealth of experience and knowledge that we will tap, in our attempt to be of service to the Internet community. We will gather the opinions of the public and present information and content that people of all ages, and all levels of Internet experience, will find beneficial.
Objectives
Our major objectives are:
- To build a “Consumers Guide to the Internet”, which will ease and simplify the use of the Internet for all consumers, no matter what their level of technological experience.
- To present this guide in the form of a “Web Directory” that will present websites, which contain the highest quality resources of information, products and services, to be found on the Internet. We will provide an objective description and evaluation (ranking) of each websites’ content; and to provide quick and simple “point and click” navigation to these sites.
- To stimulate the Internet public to participate in the recognition, accumulation and evaluation of quality websites for O’Codgers’ Web Directory, we are using an “Open Format” style, which will provide the opportunity for anyone to: 1) Rank websites, and 2) Offer new websites of quality, for consideration for the Crony Community members to evaluate, for potential inclusion into the directory. .
- To provide a platform for Social Networking and to engage the Internet public to interact and assist each other with life’s issues. To provide a vehicle for people to discuss anything from world issues to relationships; and, to simply communicate and share experiences, knowledge and advice with others
Crony Community
We will work to build an active and participative membership, which will find, evaluate and rank Websites for their inclusion in our Web Directory.
We will inform our members, by consistently providing news, articles, RSS feeds, special shopping discounts and access to other information that will be of interest and value.
We will engage our members to communicate and discuss issues by building a platform for Social Networking and providing:
- Free email accounts – yourname@ocodger.com

- Private Chat Rooms - to text personally with other members.
