Courtesy of HuffPo: President Barack Obama broke the Guinness world record Monday for the "fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter." Obama finally got his own Twitter account, which will feature tweets exclusively from the president.
The account, @POTUS, reached 1 million followers within five hours of its launch, according to Guinness World Records. The account will be inherited by the next president in 2016.
Twitter also provided this graphic to show just how quickly folks signed up to follow the President.
I don't want to brag but I'm pretty sure one of those blips from Anchorage was me jumping on the bandwagon. (You might also notice that there were more than a few coming from the Wasilla area. Hmmm.)
And by the way for that idiot who proclaimed that there is no way that Obama was writing his own tweets, how's that crow taste?
As of 4:46pm Alaska Time on 5/20/2015, the @POTUS followers are now 2.24M.
ReplyDeleteGo POTUS!!! Guinness world record, not too shabby, eh?
ReplyDeleteOT Tonight is David Letterman's last show, where's Sarah's vitriolic bitching over his joke about A Rod and A Palin Girl? She CAN'T possibly let this one go. Carb up and turn on the computer, Becky love, Got me a vendetta to toss at that wicked David Letterman!
Sarah is still fuming that Michael Moore ( who is worth 80-120 million) didn't respond to her 8 weeks ago.

No Palin or Palin worshiper can imagine that someone, even POTUS, is capable of putting together 140 characters without a ghostwriter.
Haha, Sarah, President Obama doesn't have to pay a service in New Zealand for phony followers. Don't you wish you had that money back now, Sarah? I mean, what good did it do you to have a couple of million phony Twitter or Facebook followers?
head hurt. "No Palin or Palin worshiper can imagine that someone, even POTUS, is capable of putting together 140 characters without a ghostwriter." So, the ghostwriter can't put together 140 characters without a ghostwriter. But this ghostwriter can't put together 140 characters without a ghostwriter. It doesn't stop.....
DeleteJust a cool father you have girls!
ReplyDeleteLots of followers in Texas and Florida.
ReplyDeleteI'm not on Twitter and know little about it.
ReplyDeleteBut, I do have a question. Would President Obama (and/or his staff that handles the technicalities of the account for him) know exactly who the individuals are following him? Is each name reviewed before being accepted?
Is the FBI watching the account names? I would think so! And, assuredly hope so!
If Sarah Palin were attaching herself to him, would she be stopped? Hopefully, she would due to her racist comments made against President Obama throughout these past recent years.
6:18 PM:
DeleteNot to worry. All tweets to @POTUS are being archived.
A significant number of Twitter people in North Korea, I noticed. About as many as in Wyoming. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteO/T sort of: 1st Lady Michelle Obama was shown working out and jumping rope, and she is very good. Eat your heart out, Sarah Palin, you could not compete with a real athlete. Mrs. Obama has the body of a 20 year old.
ReplyDeleteOT Gryphen, I just saw an ad for Extra they will be featuring the "Bristol Palin scandal" and what is behind it. I had a big laugh.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Extra will share the spin Sarah reloaded with.
The graphic was fun to watch...I don't do Twitter but I might now and learn how.
ReplyDeleteOT, but have u seen Bristol's latest:?
ReplyDeleteStop growing my little chicken nugget only thing I need in life #threepostsoneday #askmehowmuchicare
