America’s Longest-Married Couple Responds to Your Advice Queries via Twitter

By John Farrier in Blogs & Internet on Feb 11, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher, aged 104 and 102 respectively, have been married for 86 years — longer than any other living couple in the US. They are now using Twitter to dispense relationship advice to other couples:

That’s right, while some of the older set just can’t wrap their heads around Twitter (Twitter) (unless it’s connected to a fax machine), the Fishers will be all up on the microblogging site this V-Day, dispensing pearls of wisdom to the younger set (for whom the sanctity of marriage has already been destroyed by Facebook). The whole project was dreamed up by blinkbox, which is an on-demand movie and TV website in the UK.

    Whoops. Fixed now c0oldfish. At least the geography. Whether or not twitter should be capitalized is a dispute I’ll not wade into.
