Yesterday evening I was watching in real time how the president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev has written (or has twitted) his first tweets. http://twitter.com/KremlinRussia
My first idea was: when will his twitter be hit by an Internet shit-storm? The answer was: in approximately 1 hour. In the comments of his first twit-photo http://twitpic.com/1zareg The problem is not even critique of his politics or the decisions (although of course there were some in more than 2000 posts). Mostly it’s just stupid spam-storm of robot-generated comments with obscenities and links to web-sites with questionable content.
On the twitter account of Barak Obama, on the other hand, there is a short memo: “Official WH twitter account. Comments & messages received through official WH pages are subject to the PRA and may be archived.” Sounds scary. I don’t think Obama gets a lot of such shit-storms
PS. Obama actually re-twitted Medvedev 
They’re like normal people!
