I realize you would like to get us to give you some of our un-influenced ideas. But I agree with Gabriel. It would be helpful if you'd give us some of the conclusions you reached in your research or perhaps some direction.

But maybe I can just get the ball rolling:

One very common tool that people of all ages use, which would apply to older adults, is the email list, which is straight-forward and easy to learn to use. I know that older adults do use them.

Another, possibly more intimidating format, is the Wikki, which combines some of the interactivity of a chat room or email list with the greater commitment, flexibility and permanence of a web site. I've never participated in one myself, but it seems to me to be an attractive format for people willing to invest the time into creating a web site out of their conversations.
