Is she? Could be. And more power to Ivy Bean, we say. More friends, too. She’s nearly got 5k as of 5PM EST. Much to do with the publicity the frisbee-wielding Olympian has received, we suspect. She was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition this Friday, followed by a spot in the Daily Mail, and subsequently, Silicon Alley Insider. This weekend the sporty and Web-enabled centenarian can check off Mashable, too.
This is light news at best, not like the technical heavies we trumpet most every week. But Ms. Bean’s 15 minutes have indeed arrived, as they say, and since she’s nabbing much props from the Facebook congnoscenti, we’ll go ahead and bow to the great dame as well.
Really, though. Consider how you’d like your profile to show if/when you’ve reached 102. Peace and quiet, and some polite conversation with folks close by, right? Most definitely.
