I hear those sites are springing up in order to draw
the interest of Internet audiences who are well-heeled
financially and have more leisure time than younger Web
cruisers.

have a nose for new ventures.
Seniors tend to be more loyal to their favorite Web sites
than teenagers who flit around like butterflies in a field of

Older people favor sites that are more like small communities
of like-minded and like-aged users.
Visitors can share snapshots and opinions on current events
in the news.

be well-heeled financially, 裕福である

Someone who is well-heeled is wealthy.
