His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama Joins Twitter: It appears the Dalai Lama is following in the footsteps of Pope Benedict XVI and moving into the world of social networking. Today he joined microblogging service Twitter.

Going under the obscure Twitter name @OHHDL, The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama sent out a welcome tweet earlier today introducing the official Twitter page of the Dalai Lama.

OHHDL is responsible for all media pertaining to the Dalai Lama and will administer the Twitter account. In just over 9 hours, the OHHDL has managed to attract in excess of 2000 followers and is following most of them back.
