169,395 Tweets And 9 Million Followers For The President During #AskObama [REPORT]
Yesterday, President Barack Obama hosted a special and historic Town Hall on Twitter, answering questions submitted by Twitter users in the days leading up to the event.
The response was pretty incredible – tens of thousands of tweets were sent to the President using the #AskObama hashtag. Using specially-created algorithms that determined which tweets were receiving the most retweets, favourites and replies, 18 questions were selected in advance, and then read live by Twitter’s Executive Chairman Jack Dorsey, before being answered by the President, with @whitehouse summaries then retweeted by @townhall.
In case you missed it, Twitter has published the full video on YouTube.
Twitter has also uploaded a great picture slideshow about the occasion.
