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!

Interesting aspect of a starting blogger. You mostly speak with spam robots.

Actually, they’re quite good in conversation. They always talk about you and very laconic.

Here are a couple of examples:

All hail robots!!!

I’ve tried to use several versions of WordPress, starting with 1.5.something. It always looked like a “very old’ software.

The kind of software were made by programmers. Not coders, not designers, but good old “programmers”, “hackers”. Persons, who can master the whole cycle of program production by themselves.

Version 2.6 looks a bit different though. I think they got now a usual (for 21 century) team of desiger-programmer-tester.
