White House Begins Tweeting

The White House has begun using Twitter. The first tweet was send around 12pm on Friday. This Twitter account comes on the heels of candidate Obama's wildly successful Twitter stream. So far, the White House Twitter feed has amassed 3,438 followers, but that number will likely explode in the coming weeks. Kudos to the White House and Obama administration for recognizing an opportunity to communicate to a large, mainstream audience via the one of the Web's fastest growing social networks.
