For over two months, President Barack Obama’s Twitter account had laid dormant. After election day, and especially after Jan. 19, the Tweets petered out as he (presumably) became occupied with other things (unlike other leaders). But yesterday Obama tweeted once more.

Yesterday’s Tweet was an invitation for the American people to submit questions, either via text or video, for his online townhall meeting today, or vote on which ones they think should be asked. By the time voting closed today at 9:30 a.m., 91,795 people had submitted 103,221 questions, and 3,575,622 votes had been cast.

Obama, who is the third most popular member of the “Twitterati” — trailing only CNN and Britney Spears in number of Twitter Followers (but, thankfully, ahead of Ashton Kutcher) — will answer the most popular questions at the conference, which will be streamed live at 11:30 a.m. EST on the White House Website.

“It’s a way for the president to do what he enjoys doing out on the road, but saves on gas,” press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters yesterday.
