After see the Dalai Lama was using twitter, I thought that I had to follow him (or his representatives). I was a bit surprised to get this in my inbox today:
Dalai Lama is now following you on Twitter! – Inbox – Yahoo! Mail
Hi, Bernie Michalik (blm849).
Dalai Lama (OHHDL) is now following your updates on Twitter.
Check out Dalai Lama’s profile here:

I mean, it’s great that Barack Obama is following me on twitter, but this is taking it up a level. 🙂
Smart People I Know 
Sadly, this is not the real Dalai Lama. Perhaps soon….
So how do you really know that the famous person you are following on Twitter or the one writing in a blog is the real person?
I am a trusting person by nature, but am more paranoid on the Internet …
