The 77-year-old actress signed up to the social networking site earlier this year and regularly updates fans with thoughts and messages. In October, she tweeted that she was shortly due to undergo heart surgery.
Taylor has now told USA Today that age should never be a barrier when it comes to embracing new technology.
She said: "A girlfriend of mine suggested Twitter as a way to stay in touch and shoot down tabloid silliness. I must admit I love being able to talk with people directly without having anyone censor me. The warm love that comes back from people is an embrace. I'm always looking forward, never back."
However, Taylor added that she sometimes needs assistance with her iPod, saying: "We're just starting to load it now. I ask my secretary to help me with those things."
