In addition to dignitaries, media and Korean American leaders in attendance at the arrival ceremony for South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak, the White House also invited several dozen Tweeters -- this reporter among them -- to chronicle the event.
And, despite rain that soaked through my shoes, a cancellation scare that drove part of the audience away only to be called off 20 minutes later, and a general skepticism toward the Tweet up concept -- an RL meeting of Tweeters, usually around some event -- I couldn't help being drawn in by the mix of old world pageantry and new media speed.
