How many Twitter accounts is to have your President?

A President of a country can be considered definitely open-minded and tech-aware progressive person when he or she has a Twitter account. Finally, it is the hottest way to connect online these days with citizens. But what if a President has actually as many as two Twitter accounts? I really don't know, but I have a feeling that the Russian President Medvedev its online activities sometimes exaggerate is.


He is extremely active online with a video blog, a Twitter account and his regular communication with people online.Aber now is he thinks it is still not enough: his Twitter account is already too personally grown so he tightly official this time add a new - is!


In fact, keeping all followers Medvedev is actually his account in a personal MedvedevRussia going rename and next you create a new one (still named KremlinRussia) serve as an official outlet for President messages. And the one that currently exists and has more than 120 thousand followers continue to be a place for personal comments and opinions of the President.


This sounds sensible because current subscribers because accustomed to the unofficial voice of the President it are grown and new followers from scratch now always will.Obviously, the President does not actually deal will have to with multi account Twitter client: it is only reasonable that its official account is maintained by his administration, while it one updates itself only personal comments and photos will be.


The entire project looks like a complicated multi-stage procedure to me: right, now I can see that both accounts exist on Twitter, but MedvedevRussia protected updates so before renaming KremlinRussia using this ID, it renamed first, the URL available to machen.Und I can not help, but if some sophisticated hackers are able to control over the URL to get me question before it is again claimed by the President?The second account is promised to start, update as soon as next week, so this procedure in the next days implemented are.


The reason for moving is explained as follows: If the account was initially created, the potential for Twitter in Russia was not clear and it was impossible to predict, the extremely rapid growth and things are more or less clearly the popularity of the online service under the Russian Bürgern.Jetzt, and it is obvious that official source of information on activities of the President is required in addition to the informal communication.


This will also make life easier for Medvedev as a real person after he comes back - he is still a personal Twitter account, he can use (or at least I think so) for what whatever role in life, which he then wählt.Und being a account with a huge amount of followers already!
