New to Twitter today, the Dalai Lama, already with more than 9,000 followers and counting in just a few hours. His bio simply says “Welcome to the official twitter page of the Office of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.” And there’s a link to his website.
I found his Twitter page when I was looking up some of his advice for golfer Tiger Woods. I’m still amazed that when asked about Tiger last week His Holiness didn’t know who the world’s most famous golfer was. Really? I guess he’s been contemplating more important things.
I doubt the Dalai Lama is doing his own Twitter status updates. If you look at the first few, there are rather clinical descriptions of where he is. It’s lacking the personal touch, still, he’s on Twitter. Welcome!
