No tweeters, all followers


Predictably, the twitterati led the mass hysteria over Raghuram Rajan taking over as RBI governor. Just about everyone seemed to have a view on the man. His near rockstar appeal was visible on twitter-handle @RaghuramRajan. On the day Rajan took charge, the twitter-id tweeted “@RaghuramRajan hasn’t tweeted yet”. But that obviously was not too much of a bother for his 700-plus followers who had already hitched their wagon to this star. At last count, the score was: 0 tweets, 0 following, 1,152 followers! Could this be a fake id of Rajan created by someone with a sense of humour?
