Talk about an inspiration. This woman has inspired me to get my own facebook page - but maybe not.

A 103-year-old woman has become Britain's oldest user of Twitter - after she got bored of Facebook. Ivy Bean, who lives in a care home in Bradford, has 4,800 friends on Facebook, reports The Sun.

But she now prefers Twitter and recently posted: "I'm enjoying Twitter and having my photo taken - and I'm looking forward to Deal Or No Deal." Ivy's enthusiasm is spreading among her friends at Hillside Manor care home in Bradford.
