President Obama Becomes Third Human, First Politician To Reach 10 Million Twitter Followers
American President Barack Obama has passed 10 million followers on Twitter, reaching this total on Saturday, September 10.
In doing so he becomes the third Twitter user to pass the lofty target, following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
Obama (@barackobama) joined Twitter on March 5, 2007, which means it took the President 4 years, 6 months and 5 days to reach 10 million followers.
Obama and his team used Twitter and social media extensively when he first campaigned for President, and he has continued to be an advocate of the platform whilst in office.
