that will do what the whackjob Repugs and lowly No Party people have been doing for years...and there is nothing wrong with keeping the nation informed of the twitter accounts of public officials...nope..not a damn thing wrong with that at all. It's not like he's giving out home phone numbers and addresses :eyes:

But each of these are being added to the timeline of all 9,000,000 of his followers.

7. Ah - that makes sense.
In an individual's personal timeline (their posts) you only see what they have written.

In someone's regular timeline (posts from people they follow) you see your posts as well as posts from everyone you have set to follow.

Personal timeline:

Me
Me
Me
Me
Me
Me

Regular timeline:

Me
Joe
Mary
Joe
Sam
Me
POTUS
Mary

8. Hrm. Seems mixed reviews. Takeaway:
The mixed reviews are likely to be studied closely by the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy, which has been trying to build its Twitter network with a series “tweet up” events with power users of the social media.
