World's Oldest Blogger Dies at 108


Olive Riley, the world's oldest blogger, died this Saturday in a nursing home in Woy Woy, Australia. The bubbly and mentally sharp Riley began blogging in February of last year with the help of a friend who helped put Riley's posts on the Web.

Riley won herself a sizable international audience with her ruminations on historical events of the last century -- she was born in 1899 -- and her upbeat entries on life. She even posted occasional videos, including clips of her singing a "happy song." Riley was not a passive poster either, she had frequent communication with readers from around the world, helping to keep her mind fresh and her spirits up.

Riley's posts can still be read and watched at The Life of Riley and World's Oldest Blogger. [Source: Reuters]
