Tech Digest Has Been Out Of The Loop: Barack Obama Has Been On Twitter Since March

Hmmm.

[from Tech Digest: Barack Obama signs up to LinkedIn, expect Twitter account next]

Yep, LinkedIn, which was once one of the most popular sites on the interweb, and allows business people and assorted corporate-types to network with one another. Before you roll your eyes and proclaim it to be yet another dismal PR attempt, consider the following…

With LinkedIn’s average age of user being over 29 years of age, and all with strong business leanings, it does make sense for Obama to be reaching for new voters via the site. He currently has 150 friends, or ‘connections’ on there, a considerably small number for the site, which suggests he isn’t following in the footsteps of Tila Tequila and adding everyone and their Mums. Let’s wait for the topless pics though…

Barack is one of my close personal friends on Twitter. Has been there for months!
