News about the death of the world's oldest blogger Maria Amelia Lopez (pic on the right), http://amis95.blogspot.com/, aged 97, was in the papers today. Her family left a final post, thanking readers for their support. I knew about her sometime back but unfortunately I did not have the privilege of reading her blog because she wrote in Spanish. Apparently after becoming a Blogger 2 years ago, she became a sensation and her fame even saw Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero drop in for a chat.
I did a little internet search on senior Bloggers and found an article Senior citizen bloggers defy stereotypes. It seems Web logs are gaining a foothold as a new leisure-time option for senior citizens. Joe Jenett, a Detroit-area Web designer who has been tracking the age of bloggers for a personal project called the Ageless Project, said he has noticed more older bloggers in the past two years. From the "Ageless Project" site I had picked several Blogs owned by senior Bloggers, which I found to be regularly updated, and added to my Blog List.
