On Friday, I noticed that Florida's First Lady, Carole Crist, had registered a Twitter handle and had actually sent out two tweets in late 2009. Out of curiosity, I checked to see who Crist was following on Twitter, only to find out that she had followed Jill Zarin, star of of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City, before following her husband - Florida Governor Charlie Crist. My political/pop-culture curiosity spawned this tweet...
...which to my total shock elicited a response from Zarin herself:
The exchange, while politically irrelevant, was for me, highly entertaining. A few weeks ago, I had trouble coming up with an answer to The Shorty Awards' question "What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?" Now, I definitely have my answer.
On a slightly more serious note, I think it would be interesting to see Florida's First Lady actively engage on Twitter. Crist is the first First Lady I have seen with a seemingly authentic Twitter account, and if she decides to truly invest and engage on the platform, it could go a long way to enhancing the image of her husband, Charlie Crist, online.
