Barack Obama is already the most tech-savvy president America has ever had. He’s clinging on to his BlackBerry, had the White House website overhauled within minutes of becoming Commander In Chief, and now appears to be twittering… or at least, his team is.
Obama’s media team has now taken control of the @thewhitehouse Twitter account, previously updated by George Bush’s staff.
It’s received a new avatar (Obama’s face, naturally), and is now posting updates about the new president’s actions. But will Obama ever twitter personally? It remains to be seen, but anyone hopeful can take solace in the fact @thewhitehouse is only following seven other Twitter users, including @wxchicago, providing weather reports from Obama’s home town. Someone’s interested, certainly. We just hope it’s the main man himself.
