Meet Facebook's oldest user, a 101-year-old

Florence Detlor may have been born when William Howard Taft was president, but at the moment she is social media's it girl.
Facebook has confirmed that out of nearly 1 billion users, she is the oldest registered user of the social networking site at 101 years old.




Detlor brushes off the recent media attention. "It's a matter of circumstance ,it just happened to be in that way," she said.

The centenarian signed up for Facebook two years ago, after taking a computer class at a community center near her home in Menlo Park,Calif. She has friended around 700 people, but has uploaded only about two dozen photos to her profile.
Her timeline said she was born in 1911, graduated high school in 1928, and finished college in 1932.

Detlor said the secret to long life is good genes and a good attitude. And no,she does not think Facebook will help users live longer.
