Really, Tom Friedman...

...whose blog, as you know, presents the Times columnist's electrifying insights in all their unspeakably raw grandeur, as they arrive to him before the Times copy editors bleach them out and turn them into something they are intellectually and emotionally equipped to deal with, is celebrating at the Davos conference and one of the aspects of his celebration is a brand new Twitter feed.

Also, don't miss his insider take on Davos, taken while he was "a guest of King Bhumibol’s at the week-long Davos para-party which one gets to by transporter beams."

I'm a non-Tweeter myself (he tweets not, neither does he spin; and yet Solomon in his glory...), and his website is distinctly unfriendly to comments (a clear sign, if you're a doubter, that this is the authentic Tom), so I have been unable to make any contact with him and engage in some of that feisty ferment of idea exchange on subjects such as the flatness vs. fatness of the world, the Airborne Elephant Watch, and so on. And I'm probably his biggest public fan—possibly the only one. And yet he still hasn't blogrolled me! Any of you Twitterholics care to take a stab at finding out why?
