If Obama is slow to the mark in getting on Twitter or if he will not use it at all remains to be seen. The John Edwards campaign however is not afraid of new technology nor ignorant of the power of social networks. John is on Twitter answering the Twitter question of "What are you doing?"... Well it looks like his staff are on it anyway.

The last update was 5 days ago which says (from staff): Sen. Edwards is in Chapel Hill with his family.

Anyway, John is with the times and smart to update his electorate this way. He already has 2000+ friends and almost 2000 followers.

His profile can be seen here http://twitter.com/johnedwards

In other (ex) presidential + Twitter news, it looks like someone has nabbed Bill Clinton's name and are writing a fake Twitter blog in his guise. http://twitter.com/billclinton
