He sees you when you’re tweeting …

How's this for pressure? "Vegas Santa Claus is now following you on Twitter!"

That's the message that greeted me today when I checked the e-mail account tied to my Twitter account. Santa Claus uses Twitter? Does he take list requests? Does he give me extra points for all the "nice" tweets I share? One tiny indicator that Vegas Santa Claus may not be "actual" Santa: he's standing next to blue-green Volkswagen van. I used to drive a VW van and I’m pretty sure the reindeer have more horsepower. But this Santa’s ride does make a statement. And it probably has more cargo room for sacks of goodies.

I was surprised to see that Vegas Santa Claus is following only 121 people. I added my name to his list of followers, bringing that total to 24. I figure that if Santa is on my trail, I had better be on his, too! One thing's for certain, nothing naughty will end up in my tweets from here on.

Welcome to Twitter, big guy!
