Since the list was published Tuesday, the Obama's fan count increased and is now over 10 million and counting.

Other celebs on the list (in rank order, starting with #4) are Megan Fox, Dr. House (Hugh Laurie), Linkin Park, Lil Wayne, Cristiano Ronaldo, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

This one is for you political techies out there.

Here is a panel discussion about how celebs use (and could use) Twitter to promote political causes and otherwise engage in the political process.

The panel is moderated by our friend Maegan Carberry, who is in lots and lots of trouble for not telling us about the video so that we could post it. (You can find Maegan here and here.)

Featured panelists are Ted Johnson (Managing Editor, Variety), James Sutyando (Strategic Development, CauseCast), Jacob Soboroff (Reporter AMC News and Founder Why Tuesday?), and Wendy Cohen (TakePart.com, Participant Media).
