To most of my parents’ generation, “Twitter” may as well be a language spoken on a different planet.
As someone whose business includes the use, management, and implementation of Twitter for myself and others, a generational disconnect can be discouraging.
Then, comes Elizabeth Taylor … as DameElizabeth:
Dear Friends, My heart procedure went off perfectly. It’s like having a brand new ticker. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes.
Today is a new day. Elizabeth Taylor tweets and I scoff at the adage that “you can’t teach an old dog (aged beauty) new tricks!”
One newswire report began like this:
LOS ANGELES — (AFP) Oscar-winning Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor said she underwent a heart operation to repair a valve and that it went “perfectly.”
The 77-year-old English-born movie legend announced the success of the procedure in a post Thursday on micro-blogging site Twitter.
“Dear friends, my heart procedure went off perfectly,” she tweeted.
“It’s like having a brand new ticker. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes.”
On Tuesday the actress told her more than 165,000 followers on Twitter that she was going into the hospital for a procedure “repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery.”
And so it goes …
Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I’ll let you know when it’s all over. Love you, Elizabeth
