The Dalai Lama Just Joined Twitter
Update - And just like that the Dalai Lama has jumped to over a thousand followers, tripling his count in just a few minutes. Hard to keep secrets on Twitter.
In an East meets West and Old meets New convergence, the Dalai Lama has just joined Twitter.
The account is verified, and according to his three tweets, he joined around 12 hours ago. You can find his account here.
He has just 354 followers so it’s likely that no one knows that he is tweeting away in his saffron robes. Look for his Twitter follower account to explode in the next few hours as everyone picks up the story.
What are you going to ask him?
In related news, other recent mega-star and new Twitter user @billgates just raced past some 500,000 followers. Wow.

Interesting data, I'd ask him details about the process of becoming what he is… his life must be super interesting.

I guess that meant yes
RT @ev Met the Dalai Lama today in LA. Pitched him on using Twitter. He laughed.
he's not even a real lama!
I just wanna watch is data visualization on the “amount of hits” and “distribution growth” like the output on the wiki page on the subject.
Wow, OK thats cool, i guess. What the heck is the Dalai Lama anyways??

And how stupid is it you cover the story and don't post a link to his page: twitter.com/dalailama
It appears that his account has been suspended.
I just hope that some media man will interview him on tv where the Dalai Lama actually told about his twitter account.

Ok that was good news twitter lovers
I wonder who the Dalai Lama will follow? And if the Dalai Lama is on twitter, does that mean other monks can join twitter too?? Is that allowed?
a link is always nice: http://twitter.com/dalailama
This is not actually him tweeting…unless he likes to discuss himself in the third person and refer to himself as holy. hmmm..
“His Holiness the Dalai Lama Honored with NED Democracy Service Medal. Video Link http://bit.ly/bqOGpD about 10 hours ago via web”
I mean…I realize many “celebrity” types do this, but why make a news story about the twitter page he probably had little or nothing to do with?
