would you follow and be a fan of her? For me, it will bring a curiosity on me. I guess, as a responsible citizen of the Philippines, I will follow her to be aware of her actions. I think this will help me in making my impressions of her and I don't have to rely to informations I am just receiving from the media.What about you?

Yea I would not want to follow the president. To me that would be slightly creepy and intruding on their deserved privacy. I would actually speak against them having a public facebook or twitter. Sometimes the less I know about them the better...lol

Sure why not? Twitter and facebook has been very good social sites to express your views and if our president would have one. We can directly say our concerns and what we think he should do to make our country right. I know that lots of us will be messaging but atleast, the president should take time to read and get to address this concerns to think of a much better solution

I don't think I will follow any politicians because I don't like this kind of persons. You know being a politician must have to tell lies sometimes. Besides, I don't really think that the politicians will have enough time to stay in Twitter or Facebook by themselves. It may be done by their assistants only. I love China

I think I would be mortified if the President of all people has a Facebook or Twitter account. I mean surely there are better things that he can be doing with his time than messing around on Facebook or Twitter. Of course, if it was already in place before The President would have gotten elected, then I suppose I could deal with that, providing that the President does not spend too much time. I would not really want to follow the President on these things. I know it would be popular but it is just not for me. It could be a useful medium if utilized properly but I just fear it would be another medium to sugarcoat things and mislead the people. Well, its possible. However, I have no idea if the President has one right now and come to think about it, I do not want to know. Just because the information would come straight from the President does not mean it is anything less than a lie and could be used to misled. However, I would not follow them. I really do not get too hung up in the lives of celebrities to begin with. I can see where many people would but it was not for me. I do believe the President of any country would be the most followed person in all of Twitter. However, I just shake my head because I can totally see things things taking over and being used as a tool to get information out. Or propaganda, depending on your opinion on certain leaders.

that will be funy in my view, a president with a personal facebook account may be more approachable

That is an interesting question. It certainly would be a different route for a dignitary to go, huh. I don't have a Facebook account, and I don't use twitter, but if the President of my country had an account, and I did too, I'd probably want to follow them.

I actually follow Kevin Rudd, the Prime Minister of Australia, on Twitter; and he follows me. He doesn't have anything overly-exciting to say but, well, either do I. Still, it does quench my curiosity somewhat. But will it sway me at the upcoming elections? Not at all.

Yes of course , I would also like to be a fan of follow the president . This will aware us about the new decisions taken by the government. I think that your idea was pretty cool and it should be formulated by each and every country so that every country may develop . I seriously think that your idea should be used . Have a nice day !

I wouldn't follow the president. I honestly think they are puppets for the elite. In America any ways. I watched alot of New world order. Kind of made me think differently! My 2 cents
