”I am honored to be your Twit. Less than a year ago, I was told about this Twitter thing. And I said, ‘Okay. I will join the Twitter thing. And I will need followers. But I warn you, I don’t have any idea where I’m going.’ And now, less than a year later, over 2 and a half million of you are following me.”
