The White House says President Barack Obama is delaying an upcoming trip to Asia by three days, as he makes a final push for health care reform legislation.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says Mr. Obama will now leave March 21, instead of March 18, for Indonesia and Australia. Gibbs says Mr. Obama's wife and two daughters will not be on the trip, as previously planned.
Mr. Obama has been pressing Congress to pass health care reform, a major priority of his administration.
Gibbs has said the upcoming trip to Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, is meant to be a step in furthering relations with the Islamic world. He told reporters Thursday the trip will b URL: www1.voanews.com US Human Rights Report Hits Conditions in Iran, China, North Korea | USA | EnglishUS Human Rights Report Hits Conditions in Iran, China, North Korea

Betrachtet man den Hype Cycle von Gartner bewegt sich Twitter nun geradewegs ins Tal der Desillusionierung www.gartner.com/.../page.jsp. Sinkende Wachstumsraten sind da normal. Ob sich Twitter langfristig als ein Kommunikations- und Informationstool von vielen etablieren wird, ist m.E. nicht so sehr eine Frage der Relevanz von Tweets. Der Bedarf an schneller Information wird sicher nicht abnehmen. Für den nachhaltigen Erfolg von Twitter wird entscheidend sein, ob Twitter es schafft, kontinuierlich die technischen Features bereitzuhalten, die seine Nutzer bei Laune halten. Sonst geht es Twitter eher früher als später wie myspace mit Facebook: Es wird von einem Nachfolgermodell überholt.
