If he were doing an interview, or a press release, that might be something but aren't tweets rather like texting?

I've been a twitter follower of him since the day he signed up. That's his real page and unless someone stole his password, it's legit.

Hey, MSNBC, all those (former) million+ viewers will be elsewhere at 8 pm EST.

How cool would it be for him to do a nightly webcast at that time?

Last one out, turn off the lights (or the TV, in this case).
