Twitter Not Blocked In White House, As It Turns Out

EXCLUSIVE

Yesterday we wondered about Robert Gibbs‘ statement that Twitter was blocked on White House computers: If it was, then how did the White House Twitter feed get updated? Well, mystery solved — thanks to White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton, who laid to rest some of the extrapolated conclusions drawn from Gibbs’ comment, notably that White House staffers were banned from Twitter (they’re not), that the same people are responsible for both @WhiteHouse and @BarackObama (they’re not) and that nobody tweets from the White House (they do!). It’s true, children: It’s coming from inside the house.
