Older Adult Learners in an E-learning Workforce

So, in my quest to find out how many other organizations are going through the culture shift of creating a learning organization, focused on using e-learning and specifically with older adults , I began my search with thinking about what social media tools might be helpful.
First, I came across some interesting stats from Google Insights:




"E-learning" + Workplace + "older adults" are most popular in BC and Ontario, however the numbers are not too impressive.


I went on to see what others have booked marked using Delicious.com and found that I was one of the few people bookmarking information related to this search term.


Turning my search to micro-blogging, here's what I found using www.search.twitter.com ....nothing sadly...so i refined my search to just adult+e-learning and found that there were 2 posts, one from me and one from http://twitter.com/EFQUEL 


Finally, my social media search took me to www.technorati.com which brought me not much luck on the topic search either.. 


So, partly in my quest to find information, I took a social media world wind tour of venues where i could turn to for information. What a sea to swim through in terms of options for searching! I soon will return to good old Google.ca which I'm sure will yield more than a few results...quality to be determined.


My question is out of this experience--is how in the world do people keep up to date with tweeting, blogging, bookmarking, RSS-following, etc. How much time in the day should we carve out of our already busy schedules to stay on top of the latest info? Me: well I spent about an hour and a half on this experience already today.


My informal learning continues...
