tysroby Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Lillian Lowe, 103, from Tenby, Pembrokeshire, has only a few dozen friends, mostly family, registered.But since being dubbed Facebook's oldest user, she has had over 1000 friendship requests from around the world.She said: "They have been very kind and uplifting messages. I can't reply to them all."Ms Lowe is thought to have become the oldest person among Facebook's 500m users following the death of 104-year-old Ivy Bean, from Bradford, in July.The retired hotelier and businesswoman says she uses the site about twice a week to keep up to date with family, including two at university in Cardiff.She said: "I like it very much, to see my grandchildren and speak to them, but it does waste a lot of time.""I have a lot of time sitting alone, when you are my age, I don't go running around, and it is lovely to use.""I have a number of friends - all my family, grandchildren, great grandchildren. I check up on my family. They send me messages [about] what they're doing, and to which parties they go."Twitter"I use it just for amusement really. I'm only a beginner. I do enjoy it, very much."She said that someone her age would need "an active brain" to use the social network site.The friends requests began pouring in when her activity on Facebook won widespread publicity.She said she has heard of Twitter but does not know what it is.Source: BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think its sweet of people to friend her.. but they have just absolutely ruined her inbox... How will she even be able to use it now.. and find the important messages from her real friends and family.. I ran into this its called SPAM..I would suggest to her to get another profile and email set up... then.. pass it on to her important people... I couldn't do it and if she does... that is crazy good for 103.. I couldn't probably do it at 23.. I would have to hire people to do it for me.. LOL :DI think Facebook staff should be able to aid her in this department... I think this is great though.. and she looks happy and smiling.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
