Social networking has taken on a whole new meaning with the advent of the internet. From Hi5 to Orkut to Facebook to the latest fad, Twitter. I don't generally make predictions but I'm convinced that Twitter is the next big thing, as well it should be.
Rahul Gandhi is on Twitter! This really changes the dynamics of the whole politician-public relationship. Now Rahul Gandhi is not just a figure you see on TV or in the papers. He is a real, tangible being who you can have an actual conversation with. You can choose to follow him, (or not follow him) and post direct replies to the things he says! How cool is that? And not just him. I spoke to Darren Hayes. DARREN HAYES! Any invention that lets me talk to Darren Hayes is genius in my books.

Yes, I agree. I looks like Twitter is going to be the next big thing in social networking thing. I doubt any celebrity would be doing tweets itself.
I don't know about politicians but quite a few celebrities - musicians, actors, comedians and the like - do compose their own tweets...i think.
But in any case twitter is the best source of entertainment I've come across in a long time. If you're interested, here is an article i read recently on how twitter is different from conventional forms of social networking. Incidentally, I found it on twitter only: http://mashable.com/2009/06/02/twitter-users-dont-tweet/
