Last but not least: Twitter continues to boom, and the Dalai Lama is on board
Around 50 million short messages are currently sent via Twitter every day. The Dalai Lama is one of them and already has over 56,000 followers.
The microblogging service Twitter is becoming increasingly popular. Recently, a statistic was published on the official blog showing that 50 million tweets are sent every day. According to 20 Minuten, this figure was just 5000 in 2007.
The religious leader of the Tibetans, the Dalai Lama, is now also addressing the world via Twitter. As the short message service officially confirmed, the 14th Dalai Lama Tendzin Gyatsho is indeed behind the Twitter.com/dalailama profile. This is according to the IT blog Pluggd.in. Having started tweeting on February 21, the Dalai Lama already has a good chance of making it into the top ten most successful Twitter profiles. As of Wednesday, he already has 56,000 followers. However, the bar is set high: Barack Obama's tweets are already followed by over 3.3 million people. But the Nobel Prize winner is also out-tweeted by Ashton Kutcher with over 4.5 million followers and Britney Spears with 4.4 million.
