Barack Obama is following me
And let me tell you, it’s intimidating.
I am practicing my twittering technique and thought I’d follow a few inspirational tweeters to see how they update–Tour de France, CNN, social media club, green living and Barack Obama, among others. And then I got this email:
And with that one simple move by Barack Obama’s campaign, the presidential candidate said more to me than any of his advertising dollars to date. Two minutes ago I had no relationship to the politician and now he’s listening to every thought I have 140 characters at a time.
And that connection cost him nothing.
And now I yearn for Obama’s message…
It’s blown up:

Barack is following me too! It’s genius. . .Pressure’s on now, we better be interesting!
Does this mean that Barack has Bill O’Reilly on the top of his MySpace friends list?

“More than any other factor, it has been Barack Obama’s grasp of the central place of Internet-driven social networking that has propelled his campaign for the Democratic nomination into a seemingly unassailable lead over Hillary Clinton. Her campaign has been so 20th-century. His has been of the century we’re in.”
