93-Year-Old Is a Believer When It Comes to Social Media

I’d like to share the story of 93-year-old Clara Cannucciari, who has become an Internet sensation.

Clara, who lived through the Great Depression, started making videos (with the help of grandson Chris) for her family, and then Chris posted the videos on YouTube.

Now, Clara is hosting her own cooking show called “Depression Cooking with Clara” and it airs on YouTube!

Her show was No. 13 in terms of the most subscribed-to YouTube channels this month! Along with her YouTube show, Clara also has a blog and is on Facebook. You can become a “fan” of Clara by going to her fans’ Facebook page.

Clara has been on Good Morning America and the subject of several newspaper articles, proving once again that you don’t have to be a youngster to make full use of social media.

Do you have any residents at your community who are Internet stars like Clara?
