He was asked a limited number of questions by the audience and one was about Twitter, which has been blocked in China since July. Obama was asked by a student, "Do you know about the great firewall and should we be able to use Twitter?" His reply: "I have never used Twitter but I'm an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access." (via Breaking News Online) via readwriteweb.com This is an article that is bound to get a lot of coverage in the Twittersphere today given that Barak Obama's presidential campaign included Facebook, Twitter and many other social media platforms.
