For those of you who have not noticed I have a Twitter account and you can read the moment to moment details (in under 100 characters) of my incredibly titillating and exciting life by checking out the box at the right of your screen (well whenever I update it).
Today, I was astounded to see that Barak Obama has a Twitter account. So, of course, I added him as a "friend". Below is the reply I got back via Twitter (a company cofounded by college drop out turned blogger turned writer turned major business mogul Biz Stone):
Hi Kathryn,
Barack Obama (BarackObama) added you as a friend!

How cool is that?
