The thing that drew me to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' Twitter page was the post on Sophos blog about how his Twitter account got hijacked with the onMouseOver worm. Here's Mr. Gibb's reaction:
My Twitter went haywire - absolutely no clue why it sent that message or even what it is...paging the tech guys... 5:35 AM Sep 21st via web
Give the guy some slack, others got suckered in, too.
But take a look at the whole page. Maybe this is what is expected of Obama's press secretary, but all he does is link to favorable articles about Democrats and unfavorable articles about Republicans, sometimes with a "WOW."
And this:
POTUS to American students: nothing is beyond your reach if you're willing to dream & work hard to attain it http://bit.ly/cJOOkL 7:15 AM Sep 14th via web
Ah ha! That's it. Gibb is using his Twitter page to promote that message by demonstrating to students that they could perform this function of press secretary as well as the current job holder.
