Barack Obama proud of his Twitter feed

Twitter is one of the most used social media networks of this era. From a common man to the most popular celebrity, everyone uses Twitter to either share their daily doings or anything they would feel like. There is no restriction on posting anything. Hence, from a common man to famous celebrities and sports athletes, everyone is pretty much active on Twitter. As for that matter, the United States President Barrack Obama is also a user of Twitter and an active one. Barrack Obama has over more than 12,000 tweets and 50 million followers on his Twitter account.

President Obama is proud of his huge Twitter following. Speaking at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Obama praised the school's studies on climate change, and added: “In fact, last year I even tweeted one of your studies to my 31 million followers on TWTR.” Usatoday.com further adds that on the crowd’s chuckling, Obama said “Just bragging a little bit ... I don't think that's quite as much as Lady Gaga, but it's pretty good ... That's still not bad.”

This maybe because Lady Gaga is one of the famous persons who is listen in the highest followers on Twitter and maybe back then President Obama trailed her. But currently, Barrack Obama has now zoomed past the singer as his Twitter feed approaches 50 million followers. According to the website Twitter Counter, Obama has the third largest number of Twitter followers at 49.7 million, trailing only singers Katy Perry (60 million) and Justin Bieber (56.8 million). Lady Gaga, with 42.8 million followers, is in sixth place on the Twitter Counter list, following Taylor Swift (46.8 million) and YouTube (46.5 million).
