Will Twitter have takers in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi? Twitter’s staunchest advocte Shashi Tharoor certainly believes they have a large audience waiting on the social networking and microblogging site.
“If Manmohan Singh or Rahul Gandhi join twitter, they are also assured of a large audience,” Tharoor, who has created a flutter with his Twitter posts, declared at a press meet organised by the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ).
Elaborating on the advantages of signing up on Twitter, Tharoor said it was increasingly proving to be a fast communication tool and those signing up had an early bird advantage.
Tharoor, who has a fan following of over 600,000, brushed aside the controversies some of his tweets had created and talked of the immense advantages it offered to the tech-savvy, modern communicator.
