Barack or not Barack?

Can we get famous people to follow us on Twitter? Yes We Can!

I noticed yesterday that my good friend FascinatingLee is being followed on Twitter by Barack Obama. Needless to say, I was intrigued. So I decided to follow Obama myself to see if he would notice my Belugatweets. Sure enough, I recieved a message telling me that Barack Obama was indeed following Belugatoons on Twitter! This however led me to consider the logistics of the leader of the free world actually taking an interest in my work. It is of course highly unlikely that this is the real Obama, even if it is his Twitter page, it could be his personal assistant's assistant's assistant who actually logged on and chose to follow me since he's a busy man and has a country to run, then again even if the president himself did go online and click the "follow" button under the Belugatoons page, it seems that I am just one of the many thousands of people he has chosen to follow. (He is currently following 619577 people and counting)

So I don't think he is genuinely interested in Belugatoons. But just in case he is, I would like to say thank you very much indeed Mister President.

You can check out my Belugatweets here: http://twitter.com/belugatoons
