Blogosphere Attracts the Young at Heart

gse_multipart111861.jpg

A couple of people pushing 100 (and more!) are sharing their life experiences in the cyberspace.

Call it a sign of the times.

There is one of them who has captured the attention and, why not the affection of people from all ages and all walks of life around the world. She has been dubbed one of the most famous bloggers. Spain-native Maria Amelia Lopez has amassed more than 60,000 readers, since she started blogging in December 2006.

“No one pays any attention to old women any more. Not many people love us. But I was surprised by the Internet, because young people who were 18 years of age, or 14 or 15, tell me about their lives and what they think and ask my advice,” Lopez told Reuters.

The blog was a gift given to Lopez by her grandson Daniel on her 95th birthday. Because of her cataracts, Daniel takes her dictation when she blogs.

“I am enamored of this equipment,” she said in Spanish during a TV interview. “I have a passion for the Internet. I am engaged. You can know all that happens around the world.”

Mitt Romney Saved The Olympics

Mitt Romney Saved The Olympics(0)

There is a new political advertisement where Mitt Romney talks about some of his top accomplishments. During the commercial Romney mentions how he “saved the Olympics.” The way he makes his pronouncement sounds like an arrogant way to state this fact. Shouldn’t he have been a little more contrite. Maybe saying, “I was brought in

Where Did Romney’s Money Come From?(0)

We all know that Mitt Romney is very wealthy. We know he was a ‘businessman’ who worked at Bain Capital. The question remains is how did he accumulate this kind of wealth while working anywhere? How? Bain & Company, a management consulting firm, hired Mitt in 1977 at the age of 30. After one year,

Mayhem At Mall of America(0)

You would certainly think it is safe to going shopping at the Mall of America. That was not the case this past Monday.
