Fun with Twitter.

Can you guess who joined Twitter yesterday, gentle readers? That’s right… the President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev. Thus far, he has 20k followers, and only follows four: Barack Obama, the White House, the UK Prime Minister (David Cameron), and the Kremlin. Impressive.

Apologies, but all I keep picturing is this:

“KremlinRussia_E: Hello everyone! I’m on Twitter, and this is my first tweet.”
