We need to get her over to FriendFeed too ;)

It would be too fast for her.

Twitter has officially jumped the shark.
- Brad Williamson
Brad, I don't see how that reference applies at all here.
- Tyler Hayes
Twitter has not jumped the shark. It is not dead. It is simply popular, however quickly it's on its way to jumping the shark.
- Matthew Allen Horton
This looks encouraging for the people of half her age to join the web bandwagon.

This is wonderful! PS: Why are there always some people who have to make stupid comments?
- Verena Fuchs
Not only is this a testament as to the popularity of the Twitter social networking service, but it also disproves the old stereotype that the elderly doesn't understand today's technology.
- Thomas Ward
Exactly so, Thomas! well said.
- Melanie Reed
It wouldn't be too fast for her. There are assistive technologies (puff and sip) and new ones coming that can keep up.

Just use pause, like I do. Live streaming is too much like watching TV, which immediately turns me off.
- Ernie Oporto
I hope some more people "follow" her and enjoy the internet. It does not replace the joy of social life but she can enjoy having the feeling of being connected.

Way to go, Ivy!!
- Robert Couture
Why wouldn't you link to the original article? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol... And she's 103, and the oldest Twitterer in UK, not the world.

Twitter is waaay past jumping the shark

I wouldn't even bother trying to explain Twitter to my parents.

Oh, my... Remember the news: http://edition.cnn.com/2008...

Longevity isn't for wimps. However, if you make it to 100+, you too can enjoy an exciting rewarding future as a media-prop for some random future technology. Of course, you'll suck, because you're old; for we all know that http://alloldpeoplesuck.blogspot.com/ -- #Sardonic-Hyperbole-With-A-Message

Apparently this is a scam. techcrunch article has more: http://tr.im/lz2B
- Angus Burton
Scam is bullshit. She's on there and still tweeting. Whether she's on Twitter because of a newspaper or because someone but a gun to her head, ages still on there, 104 years old and still Tweeting. Ahh, there, I feel better :)
- Zee.
oh and she just tweeter twice in the last 45 mins
