I have to agree with someone else's post about this seeming fishy to me. I mean it's exciting to think that a 104 year old woman is embracing technology. But this seems too staged.1. Get camera & newspaper reporter ready.2. Signup for twitter on 5/143. Get the Article written about Grandma on Digg, and watch the followers GROW.This is probably just some internet marketing machine trying out some new "technique" Kudos to them, it seems to be working. Nearly 10,000 followers in 3 days.... not bad!
