    Chris: It's hyperlinked http://twitter.com/barackobama

    Is he deleting old updates before putting up new ones? Or is it just that his Twitter account is no more informative than some of his stump speeches? Right now, it shows "1 Update," but it's different from the one in your screencap. Weird.

    Obama has an amazing social network built on his own My.BarackObama.com, but his campaign was pretty late jumping in on Twitter, with an update-less account lying dormant for several weeks. The way you tack on "John Edwards has already created a profile on Twitter as well" makes him sound like a johnny-come-lately, when in reality he was tweeting all over the campaign trail since Twitter first hit the bigtime (http://twitter.com/johnedwards), and even Joe Biden campaign updates were being tweeted (http://twitter.com/joebiden) for weeks before Obama's "Haven't updated yet" turned to content. I'd almost say Obama missed the Twitter wave -- it was *so* March! :-P If, as they say, Ustream is the new Twitter, then the real story about this debate weekend is that Sen. Chris Dodd actually Ustream'd a live feed from his staff during the debate; talk about your bleeding edge candidate! (I wonder if anyone watched....)

    Thanks Christian. Thats cool to know the Politicians are reaching out more than ever before. Hope we see a better President next time.

    I was playing with a twitter/yahoo pipes/google maps mashup today that displays your tweets (or those of the people you follow on twitter) on a google map, after passing the twitter feed through a geo-coding yahoo pipe.

    A comment suggested if you visualise Obama's twitter feed in this way, you can see how he's ringing up the miles... see the map here: http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/012712.html

    the adverse effect only becomes real when the 700 million or more can see the foot-to-mouth dissease
    turn into a bactrium type of cell-for-rent illness

    the cell-for-rent concept only belongs to the idea that poor quality chromo-zones can account for a possible rotten egg scenerio....

    this should not replicate the fact from a separate

    force ......

    keeping in mind that all things must pass........

    I just wonder whether he still keep his Twitter account active right now. I can't imagine how will he respond to all his followers.
