An Apple executive just signed up for Twitter. Amazing, given how secretive the company is (and that's why any story about a Tweet from Steve Jobs should be disregarded). Why, then, did Apple Senior VP of iPhone Software, Scott Forstall, just sign up for Twitter?
It is unclear, but as Forstall is SVP of iPhone software, perhaps it because there is some new iPhone - Twitter integration coming. It's not so he can follow tons of folks. As of the time of this writing, Forstall is following precisely one person: Conan O'Brien. Conan's last tweet was, interestingly enough:
I found a huge design flaw in my new iPhone. People get angry when I talk on it during a funeral.
By the way, both Conan and Forstall have verified accounts, so that means they are actually who they claim to be. That also brings up another point: Apple took the time to vet him for Twitter.
Right now, he's not posted any Tweets. Could this be where Apple explains the iPhone 4's issues (since they say it's all software)? Or is Forstall (18K+ followers) just out to try to surpass a million followers, as did Ashton Kutcher (who now has 5 million). Readers, what do you think?
