World’s Oldest Facebooker – 102 Years Old

by Matt Craven

The Daily Mail profiles the world’s oldest facebooker – 102 Year Old Ivy Bean::

Ivy Bean is a great-grandmother with a difference. At 102 years old she has joined the social networking revolution and become the oldest person on Facebook.

The former mill worker, who was born in Bradford in 1905, showed an interest in the website, after hearing care workers at her home talk about the phenomenon.

Although Mrs Bean currently only has nine Facebook friends, she said she ‘loves being online’ and is hoping for many more.

I suspect she’ll have many new friends after this article is read around the world!

    Too late. She already has ‘too many friends.’

    I just sent her a message. ;-)
