Obama's White House passes 1M followers on Twitter http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/08/23/obamas-white-house-passes-1m-followers-on-twitter/
WASHINGTON (CNN)– President Barack Obama’s wired White House is now in the seven figures category on Twitter. “A million followers – nice,” the White House (@whitehouse) wrote in a short blast — known as a “tweet” — that was sent out Sunday afternoon. “What would you like to see more of from this feed? Photos? Quotes? Cowbell? Tell us @whitehouse.” In crossing the 1 million-follower threshold on Twitter, the Obama administration official account still trails behind Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, Obama’s opponent in the 2008 elections. McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) racked up his millionth Twitter follower nearly six weeks agoand now has roughly 1.2 million followers on the popular micro-blogging site.

Obama’s presidential campaign Twitter account (@BarackObama) has more than 2 million followers. *********************************** * POST TO MEDIANEWS@ETSKYWARN.NET * *********************************** Medianews mailing list Medianews@etskywarn.net http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
