The world's oldest Tweeter has died, after over 1,000 tweets documenting numerous fish and chip dinners, family visits and meeting Gordon Brown. Ivy Bean, a 104-year-old UK resident, amassed over 56,000 followers by tweeting her insights into life. Over the last few weeks, a care home manager kept followers updated as Ivy suffered from jaundice in hospital. "Ivy passed away peacefully at 12:08 this morning," the manager wrote in her last tweet. |

艾薇·比恩,全世界年纪最大的Twitter使用者,日前在英国辞世,享年104岁。比恩留下了超过1000条微博,细细感悟生活的一点一滴——无数次炸鱼薯条的美餐,与家人的温馨小聚,以及与戈登·布朗的会面。她的粉丝数量已经超过5.6万。数周前,比恩罹患黄疸住院,微博只能由一名养老院员工代为更新。她的最后一条微博亦由他人代笔:"艾薇于今天凌晨零时8分安详辞世。"
*媒体评论
Despite Ivy having been unable to post for almost 2 months, the sight of "Ivy Bean" trending worldwide less than an hour after the announcement of her death seemed a fitting tribute to a woman whose warmth and simple enjoyment of life proved such a draw to so many. (The Guardian)
艾薇无法更新微博已近2个月。但是,她去世的消息传出不到1小时,"艾薇·比恩"这个名字就已在全世界范围内流传。这是对她在天之灵的告慰。这说明,她传达出的温暖,以及对生活的质朴享受,已经感动了众多碌碌世间人。(英国《卫报》)
