On Monday, the broadly verbose president began his own particular Twitter record, promising to connect with actually — not through a staff part — with the American individuals in the regularly clamorous discussion, which has turn into a sort of worldwide town square for the Internet age.
Mr. Obama joined the fight with a short portrayal — "Father, spouse, and 44th President of the United States" — and a photo of him driving a group in a dedicatory stroll over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., in March.
His first post incorporated a welcome — "Hi, Twitter! It's Barack. Truly!" — and a regret, "Six years in, they're at last issuing me my own record."

As of the early night, more than one million individuals had joined to take after the president's insights. By correlation, his partner in Britain, David Cameron, who joined Twitter in January 2010, has a little more than one million supporters. Pope Francis, who joined in December 2012, has a little more than six million.
Mr. Obama's direction puts him on track toward coming to the statures of such famous people as Katy Perry, who finish Twitter with about 70 million adherents, and Justin Bieber, who positions second with right around 64 million.
