Facebook's Oldest User, 101-year-old Florence Detlor, Meets CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook's Oldest User Meets Mark Zuckerberg

Think you're getting too old for Facebook? Hardly.

Facebook's oldest registered user - 101-year-old Florence Detlor - recently visited the company's HQ to meet CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Detlor was pictured with the Facebook co-founder and Sandberg, of his top execs, on Monday.

Sandberg posted the picture to her Facebook wall.

She said: "Honored to meet Florence Detlor, who at 101 years old is the oldest registered Facebook user. Thank you for visiting us Florence!"

Detlor is from Menlo Park in California, and before the visit was made public had around 650 friends on Facebook - though that is now sure to be much higher.

She joined Facebook in August 2009, and lists her university as Occidental College - from where she graduated in 1932.

However the post has now seen a string of attempts by Facebook's users to sign up their grandparents - or great-grandparents - to beat Detlor's record.

"My grandfather in law is turning 102," said one user. "I need to get him to sign up!"

That's the spirit.
