Weatherbird's top tweets: @POTUS Live
Besides gracing the front page of the newspaper since 1901, I also spend time watching Twitter. Here’s some notable tweets from the week.
On Friday morning, the president had 2.33 million followers; singer Taylor Swift had 57.8 million.
So this happened Monday:
Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.

And St. Louisans reacted:
There was already a @BarackObama account, but that is run by Organizing for Action, a liberal
campaign group. The @POTUS account tweeted — in response to a question from
@billclinton no less — that the handle "comes with the house." (POTUS stands for President Of
The United States).
