On July 14th, Olive Riley, the world's oldest internet blogger from Australia died at the age of 108. Riley posted more than 70 entries on her blog or "blob" as she jokingly called it since February 2007. She recounted her life during two world wars, raising three kids, and working as a barmaid. She carried with her an archive of memories -- more than a blog could hold. And then she discovered blogging and its thrill, especially at her age! A 2006 Pew Internet survey on U.S. bloggers shows U.S. internet users under the age of 30 (24%) constitute more than half of bloggers (54%). A tiny 2% of bloggers are 65 or older. A blog post on Trendsspotting, reports that between the genders, more women (21%) than men (14%) are bloggers. Olive may be resting in heavenly abode, but her spirit and remembrance, are still alive on her blog. —apurba
