So Just Who Has Been Tweeting @WhiteHouse? Mystery Solved

The mystery plaguing the blogosphere since White House press secretary Robert Gibbs‘ appearance on C-SPAN Friday morning has finally been solved. Who has been Tweeting updates on @WhiteHouse if Twitter if blocked on White House computers? Especially since most of @WhiteHouse’s updates are “from web.”
