We also used it as an illustration of how an influential Twitter profile can in fact drive traffic to related Twitter profiles by selectively following others (like Obama's Twitter profile). And even with all the restrictions placed on Obama's devices and Internet access, the lucky guy still gets to Twitter (at least to my knowledge!). Look forward to tweeting with you on Twitter as well, Tom!

Finally, when I followed him, he followed me right back. In fact, I'm pretty sure the conversation went, "Excuse me Mr. Putin but it looks like @tomjgray is now following me on Twitter. Give me a sec while I follow him back."! I did run across a guy, though, who's following close to 500 and, odder still, being followed by about 60 even though he hasn't posted a single tweet, peep or twitter.
