Will the Dalai Lama Twitter in Chinese? Apparently Not. #2

Posted on February 8, 2009 by davesgonechina

UPDATE: Turns out that it was a Twitter impersonator. My optimism was misplaced.

The Dalai Lama (or his office, at any rate) has opened a Twitter account @OHHDL. Last March, I argued that according to his own stated beliefs the Dalai Lama and his supporters ought to be using technology like Twitter and Fanfou to engage Chinese Internet users. Now three more steps:

1) Follow some Chinese people

2) Tweet in Chinese

3) Get a funkier Twitter avatar. Baby pictures can be good:

    Twitter announced that the Dalai Lama’s page was a fake.

    It will be cool if Dalai lama really appears on twitter as well as other leaders who opposed him too 🙂

    It’s just nice to see…
