Last but not least: No one is too old to be a blogger
Maria Amalia López, from northwestern Spain, wrote last December: «Friends on the Internet, today is my 95th birthday. It’s my birthday, and my stingy grandson gave me a blog as a present.» With these words, an unusual career began.
Maria Amalia López from the northwest of Spain wrote last December: "Friends of the Internet, today is my 95th birthday. It's my birthday and my stingy grandson has given me a blog." These words marked the start of an unusual career. She started her new Internet diary with these words. She wrote about her youth, home and the life of a lady over 90. She would have been delighted to have a few people her age as readers. But things turned out differently: she is now known to hundreds of thousands of Internet surfers as the "oldest blogger in the world". The internet diary "A mis 95 años" has gone from an insider tip to a crowd puller in just a few months, especially in the Spanish-speaking world. Major Spanish daily newspapers such as El País and El Mundo have discovered the blog granny. Eager readers translate some entries into other languages. However, there is only one post in German. She set a trend with her blog and has already had to relinquish the title of oldest blogger: 108-year-old Australian Olive Riley has been reporting on her life online since February.
