Dorothy Miller, an 87-year-old grandmother, uses Twitter every day to keep in touch with her family, but she uses no computer. Instead, she uses a fax machine and a service called Cellery that posts the messages to her Twitter page.

I don’t usually write to my daugher that much because she talks to much. And that she takes up too much of our time, but she can read my twitterings here and she can see what her mother’s doing and know that her mother’s okay …

Go grandma, go … or better yet, tweet, grandma, tweet!

    She doesn't want to talk to her daughter in person because she talks too much? Goodness, the last thing an 87 year old needs is too much attention and conversation. There's a lot of elderly in nursing homes that would love to have her "problem".

    I love the straightforward way she says her daughter "talks too much" and "takes up too much time". She calls 'em like she sees 'em!

    Hey, this lady is sure a technocrat. Making use of twitter for communications. Bravo!
