Barack Obama and Bill Gates Twitter for First Time in Same Week – Who’s Next?
January 21, 2010 by Pablo Palatnik
It seems President Barack Obama and Billionaire Bill Gates sending out their first tweet was kind of a big deal, wasn’t it? I actually expect that, given it is 2010. Everyone seems to be super surprised that two huge figures in our country did something online that is a common form of communication these days. Sure, Tweeting isn’t like emailing or calling someone on the phone, but it’s pretty damn popular. By 2010, didnt you think there would be flying cars? Come on…I know you did. So, why the hell is everyone so surprised? I find it funny, in a good way, not in a retard kind of way.

Barack Obama sent out a tweet from the red cross headquaters and Bill Gates tweets, “‘Hello World.’ Hard at work on my foundation letter — publishing on 1/25.” His Twitter ID is @BillGates, in case you want to tweet the guy. Can you imagine tweeting with Bill Gates? That’d be pretty cool.

So, as these two national figures use Twitter, a wave of popularity and a older demographic begins a widespread awareness of Twitter, there will be a big spike and change in the way we communicate online THROUGH Twitter. Since the very beginning of 2009, Twitter has been really increasing in popularity, but this week, Twitter just put itself on the map as one of the most important online properties in the world, by far.
If you aren’t on Twitter, what are you waiting for? If you’re an online marketer, Twitter has been such a great source for traffic and link building through that traffic and exposure of content that is available by retweets, etc.
