Politicos get sweet in tweets

Twitter pals Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took their online relationship into the New Year yesterday with a series of new tweets. The Twitter fans' love of technology has united the two politicians over the past year, and they have sporadically sent each other friendly tweets since the Russian president met the then governor in June on a Silicon Valley tour.

"Can't wait to see you again - maybe skiing?" the actor wrote in reply to Medvedev's wishes for success after Schwarzenegger stepped down from his governor's post due to term limits.

"We agreed - I remember. We'll definitely find the time," Medvedev tweeted back.

Medvedev was bowled over by Schwarzenegger when they met in Silicon Valley, quipping "I'll be back" and winking at the Hollywood actor, quoting the famous catch phrase from his film "The Terminator."
