This speaks to the power of social media. By coincidence or chance I started following Malcolm the first time that he posted on Twitter and he reciprocated the follow by following my stream. Now I am able to DM Malcolm Gladwell!

You can see that Malcolm has not posted in over a month, but the moment he does, or when folks check his feed I am the only one listed there as “followed by” Malcolm. If this is Malcolm’s real twitter feed then I am ecstatic. If not, that’s cool too. For the time being I like the status quo.
