Information Madness

Is twitter becoming next internet sensation for celebrities/leaders to reach out to their fans, followers? Looks like a new twitter account is created for Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The account was created on Feb 7th and within two days this account has 19,827 followers and this account is friend of 16,280.

According to Live Mint, this twitter account is an official account for Dalai Lama on Twitter but that is not correct. The account is not official and it says on its twitter page that this is not affiliated with the real Dalai Lama.

Also one of the message says "Welcome to the UnOfficial twitter page of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Check back for news and travel itinerary."

Most of the messages are asking people to visit DalaiLama.com. So what do you think? Is that actually an official Dalai Lama Twitter Page or an unofficial one created by one of the follower?

Updates: The account was a fake Dalai Lama account. Twitter took the rare step of suspending the account after it emerged that the person behind it had no connection to the Nobel Peace Prize winner

"The account was suspended because it violated our Terms of Use regarding impersonation," Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said.
