Twitter just got a big supporter.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger embraced the micro-blogging site on Wednesday and praised the founders of Twitter for starting something that has captivated the world and created an innovative way to communicate across great distances.
The California governor went to Twitter on Wednesday and fans were invited to listen in on his conversation with founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams via tweetcast. Schwarzenegger discussed Twitter's presence in Iran during the election and said he was sure the site never intended to participate in any sort of revolution. Stone and Williams confirmed this.
'You always try to reach out and touch the people; you need to know always what they are feeling and it changes so quickly,' Schwarzenegger said of maintaining contact with voters and getting their feedback.
The governor also said he has turned to tweeters for suggestions on how to correct California's intimidating budget deficit. One Twitter user said the state could have a sort of garage sale to capitalize on unused or unwanted property.
Schwarzenegger took office in late 2003. The 62-year-old governor's approval rating has dipped a bit recently, according to WSJ.com. The site says that California's severe budget problems are the cause of the voters' dissatisfaction.
