Some have never had a computer and have arthritis in the hands, etc. Will the public enjoy photos of the elderly? I guess I would just enter in everything for my mom and add a photo, but would it be worth it? She could not even read any replies. She says all of her best friends have departed anyway.

If they can easily access and use a computer Facebook is a great idea. It can keep them in touch with their kids or grandkids and feel connect to their lives. My grandparents (are in their 70's) and my grandmother just created a joint Facebook account with my grandfather. They follow me and always know what is going on in my busy life. They are also good at texting and will send me quick texts to check-up on me. It's created to for the elderly generation to being connected with the younger generation with social media.
Look for some tech articles to come out soon for the elderly :)

Sounds like a great idea! Give it a try, my MIL is 75 and loves being able to keep up with her Family and friends near and far.
