WASHINGTON – White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has a new way to communicate directly to people — Twitter.
President Barack Obama's chief spokesman ventured into the Twitter world on Saturday with his first 'tweet' or Twitter message on his official White House account. Gibbs wrote: "Learning about 'the twitter' - easing into this with first tweet - any tips?"
Gibbs later told The Associated Press: "I opened it today. I was watching a twitter feed while the President visited the briefing room last week and it thought it was fascinating to watch and see what people were thinking, doing and writing." He was referring to Obama visiting the press room Tuesday after a bipartisan meeting with members of Congress.
Gibbs wrote: "Seemed like adding our voice to that is a good thing."

In Gibbs case ...

Been Twitting since 2009.

Bypassing the press corps. Controlling the message in its entirety. Having your own WH press office.
The 4th estate must be for sale. Cheap.
FR, Facebook, Myspace.. Who has TIME TO TWIT ..errr TWEET??
Robert Gibbs gets Twitter account - gets insulted immediately
patrickroddy: @PressSec Try not to make it all business. This can be great tool to humanize yourself.
fleckman: Shouldn’t Gibbs new twitter acct be @PressSUK instead of @PressSec
rosecityken: @PressSec say more here than you do in press conferences, you will cut out like 250 “uhhhh’s” in like 5 mins time.
1stCavTommy: @PressSec Yes, explain to me again how Iraq will be one of Obama’s great successes. Then resign.
True. I wonder if the arrogant leftist sc*mbag White House Press "Corpse" is beginning to get ticked off at being totally ignored by the even more arrogant leftist sc*mbag Obama Regime.
Does the White House Press have any limits to how much they can be degraded and humiliated?
Nobody has done it yet, but that picture needs a side by side with Peter Griffin from “The Family Guy”.

@PressSec Save the effort, just wire the teleprompters in direct
Nice to know she has so much time on her hands, she can now devote her time to playing on social networks.
For all the talk of Palin's idiocy, her tweets are the equivalent of precision-guided nuclear tipped missiles on the administration's policies.
It'll be fun to watch the equivalent of KOS Kiddies trying to fire back in public, with the name and legitimacy of the White House on the line.
Cheers!
LOL! The White House just tweeted [something that would do Baghdad Bob proud].
